Count Your Blessings
Remember the child
The one who smiled, who tried
Who curled up on a lap
Who found reassurance in a hug
Who embraced the spirit
With kindness and love
Remember the joy
Found in nature’s touch
The glow of the moon, the stars
Reflecting the peace of a heart
Gentling the colors of the dark
Inspiring the sweetest hope
Remember the past
The history of sweet grace
The tenderness in abiding faith
The music in a prayer
The silence that falls in echoes
Pleading for serenity’s whispers
Remember the friend
The one who you so treasured
Who grew to be your blessing
Who reassured your fears
Who encouraged you to believe
Who stirred your deepest dreams
Remember the laughter
The joy that could bring you to tears
The giggles that moved you to listen
To the stillness, the dance, the miracles
The moments that tremble with kindness
The warmth that encourages divine love
Remember the moments
When you were filled with passion
When everything in you adored
The Creator, the One who made us
When your heart beat with the purpose
Of giving mercy, hope and compassion
Remember the days
That brought you honor
The ones that won’t fade
Because they know you
As the light, the reflection
Inspiration that mirrors…
His greatest gift, real love!
