~ Counting My Blessings ~
Reflections of mind's mirror
reveals a joyous view
embraces me with blessings
'n lessons I have learned
His beauty all around me
thankful I have eyes
reaching for the 'morrows
looking toward the skies
As I sit and ponder
thankful I can think
with pen in hand I scribble
all my thoughts in ink
Each day has its blessing
sights, the smells and sounds
thankful for my senses
life's pleasures I have found
The tender words of loved ones
so thankful I can hear
clutching ev'ry heartprint
shared throughout the year
Happy thoughts and laughter
tiptoe 'cross my mind
within each little crevice
live mem'ries, safe and sound
The bond of friends and family
calms my weary soul
forever will be cherished
ne'er to tire, grow old
Thankful for my being
I take some time to Pray
'tis shelter from the elements
when troubles come my way
Days and nights of wonder
what will the future bring?
His Plans for me are waiting
'n what will be, will be
Thankful I am breathing
although some days are grim
I look to higher power
place all my trust in Him
