How
How can I count my blessings
just tell me how?
Is it in a friendship
or the smile of a child.
Could it be a puppy that gentle
jumps up to say how are you
and climb up on your lap.
Is it in the first time you are in love
or perhaps its in the first kiss
that set your world on fire.
Memories of blessings
keep crashing in.
Trying to remind you
of how to COUNT LIFE'S BLESSINGS
and never to let them part.
In ones loving arms the blessings
seem so strong.
In your loving nothing seems wrong.
Trying to remember now your away
how many blessings I can count today.
Even though we parted and you went away
the children are the blessings I think or each day.
Some say their God is the only one
to shower down the blessings from
way up above.
Looking at the seasons and calling out for rain
Seems a real blessing when it comes to rain.
Filling up the dams and breaking droughts
is called a blessing from farmers
and city folk as well.
Looking at the birds and seeing them sing
is another Blessing and is another way
of counting life's blessings again and again.
Answering a phone when all seems lost
hearing a voice of a loved one is a real
blessing and deserves a verse.
Saying thank you to one and all
is another blessing for you know they care.
Having food on the table and having work as well
Being born with good health is another one
Living each day in protective love
is another way
Attending a school and learning
is just another one
How can we Count Life's Blessings
when we have so many of them.
