Count Your Blessings

Now listen up all ye poets out there

Here's an adage I try to live by

It seems to work for this old duffer

So why don't you give it a try

Upon waking up every morning

Before you jump out of bed

Count all your blessings one by one

Keep them stored inside your head

As each day presents its challenges

Remember your many blessings

Be thankful for all the little things

Enjoy life with all its dressings

Now it may not be totally foolproof

But at least you're on the right track

Trust me you'll be ahead of the game

And happiness you surely won't lack

So listen up all ye poets out there

Let me know how it all works out

I hope it's a positively roaring success

From the rooftops you'll want to shout!
