Count Your Blessings
Count your garden by the flowers,
Never by the leaves that fall.
Count your days by garden hours,
Don’t remember clouds at all.
Count your nights by stars, not shadows.
Count your years with smiles, not tears.
Count your blessings, not your troubles.
Count your age by friends, not by years.
