Today When I Counted My Blessings

TODAY WHEN I COUNTED MY BLESSING ~~~

      WHEN I PAUSED TO COUNT MY BLESSINGS TODAY
       I STOPPED AND I THOUGHT OF YOU.
      AND I REMEMBERED ALL THE MEANING YOU GAVE
       THAT HELPED ME SEE LIFE ANEW.

      
     I THOUGHT OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THIS LIFE
      THAT HAS NO FRIENDS TO CALL THEIR OWN,
     I THOUGHT OF ALL THE HEARTACHES IN LIFE
      AND PEOPLE THAT FEEL ALL ALONE.

     
     I THOUGHT OF GODS AMAZING GRACE ON EARTH
      THAT HELPS US MAKE IT THROUGH EACH DAY,
     I THOUGHT OF ALL THE SINNERS OUT THERE
      THAT HAVE YET TO TURN GODS WAY.

    
     I THOUGHT OF ALL THE TRIALS PEOPLE SUFFER
      THAT NEVER SEEMS TO EVER DEPART.
     AND I THOUGHT OF ALL THE FRIENDS GOD GAVE
      TO BRING JOY AND LOVE TO MY HEART.

     THANK YOU JESUS,FOR EVERY BLESSING HERE
      NO MATTER HOW BIG OR HOW SMALL.
     PLEASE HELP ME TO BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS
      AND HELP ME BE THERE IF THEY SHOULD FALL.

Ann, this is wonderful and beautiful as it asks not for benefit for the subject but asks for gifts to help others. It reflects on the true blessixngs in life. Excellent flow and rhyme as well made this a pleasure to read. Michael
