“Take Time To Count Your Blessings”

We need to take time to count our blessings
We need to count them all, one by one.
And see the blessings that God has given
Praising while counting everyone!

Just wakening up in the morning
Breathing in earth’s fresh clean air.
While millions suffer huddled to retain their warmth
Living in such deep anguish and deep dispare.

You may be able to sit at a breakfast table
While millions of children in our world starve.
Your eyes may view beautiful beds of flowers
While others haven’t even shelter or a yard.

Stop such selfish moaning and wants!
For those things yet haven’t not.
While children run from terrorist in the streets
Barely missing guns deadly bullets shot.

If you can hold someones hand or hug them
These are un-counted blessings too.
To afford a soul who’s hurting a warm hug
Of anothers loving arms from you.

If you have food with-in a refrigerator
Or spare change for your church offering plate.
Knowing there are some who have no food at all
Not even a fork, spoon, cup or plate.

We can go to our sinks faucets
And let gallons of water wasted flow.
While there are some who drink grey desease of filth
Where animals drink and tribes women wash their clothes.

Yes we should count all our blessings
We have them more than numbers are.
We should fall down to our knees!
And thank God, just where our blessings are.
