Notes About The Poem

"HOW BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO DWELL IN THY HOUSE.

THEY ARE EVER PRAISING THEE.

HOW BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE STRENGTH IS FOUND IN THEE."

                                                                                      Psalm 84:4-5

Today I'Ll Be Happy

Today will be a good day.
I won't complain and moan,
About all that I do not have,
Count curses all alone.

Instead I'll count my blessings,
Thank Him for what is mine;
Appreciate what He has done,
To make my life sublime;

For others do not have the things,
That I just take for granted;
Good food, good clothes a place to live,
It's really as I planned it.

Though everything is not the way,
I'd have it, truth to tell,
He's satisfied my every need,
Most wants supplied as well.

I have all that I really need.
I really can't complain.
Though some have more, it's still just fine,
For we aren't all the same.

We each are blessed according to,
What's best for you and me.
It's personal and custom made,
For personalities.

Today I will appreciate,
All He has done for me.
For home, and health and happiness,
For my security.
