Array ( [sid] => 183308 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Count Your Blessings [time] => 2016-06-28 17:03:57 [hometext] => E. Wayne Searles [bodytext] =>
Today I am happy
a few days ago I was not
I have come to a realization
to everything I have got

Having been blessed
but sometimes it’s just hard to tell
Those are the days we’re not happy
when our worlds are broken for a spell

Life feels so lonely
when we have such a day
Then we feel so much anger
and treat everyone in a very bad way

Sometimes we just need to stop
and take a good look around
We need to count our blessings we have
in this world in which we are bound

Our world could be crashing around us
but we should not despair
There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel
family and friends are waiting for us there

So today I am very happy
many blessings I do have in this life
The good Lord blessed me
with three wonderful children and a beautiful wife

So count your blessings
and find happiness inside each of you
Your world will be a much better place
and for everyone else too

Wise words, Wayne.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
