Count your Blessings

Count your blessings

                    instead of your crosses;

Count your gains

                    instead of your losses;

Count your joys

                    instead of your woes;

Count your friends

                    instead of your foes;

Count your smiles

                    instead of your tears;

Count your courage

                    instead of your fears;

Count your full years

                    instead of your lean;

Count your kind deeds

                    instead of your mean;

Count your health

                    instead of your wealth;

Count on God

                    instead of yourself!
