Happiness In Every Blessing

Count your every blessing
when you are in despair,
Aware of the afflictions,
the good in what you bear.

Thoughts can lead us blindly
down a rougher street,
If you listen to your heart
the outcome can be sweet.

Remember all the good times
the reflection of a smile,
you will find the happiness
to overcome each trial.

Even when the storm clouds
bring a pouring rain,
don't give up that happiness
in prayer to ease the pain.
