Count Your Blessings



In the quiet moments of the day,
When the world  feels far away,
Pause and take a gentle breath,
Count your blessings,feel their depth.

The sun that rises every morn,
The love that's given,never torn,
The laughter shared with friends so dear,
The memories that brings us cheer.

A roof above,a place to rest,
A heart that's full,a life that's blessed,
The simple joys,the little things,
The peace and hope that each day brings.

When troubles come and shadows fall,
Remember blessings,big and small,
For in the counting,hearts will find,
A grateful soul,a peaceful mind.

The warmth of home,a family's care,
The beauty found in nature's fare,
The strength to face each brand new day,
The wisdom gained along the way.

The kindness shown  by strangers  grace,
The courage found in every place,
The dreams that light our darkest night,
The faith that guides us to the light.

So take a moment,look around,
In every corner,blessings found,
With gratitude,our spirits soar,
Count your blessings,and find more.
