COUNTING

Counting not the losses that came

Numbering not the nightly cold and blisters

Mentioning not the broken promises and vows

Computing not the days of nays and pains

Including not the shocks and blows

Here are the numerals of light and love

I tabulate good fortunes that came as friends

Including intimacy that binds as family

Enumerating fondness of acquaintance smile

Totalling comfort sweetening my way

The one freedom that liberates me

Those 2 wishes of beautiful dawn and glorious dusk

The 3 spirits of life, love and living

The 4 dreams that make it count

And 5 times i stayed super lucky

I am counting not failures of intentions

But the blessings of pure thought

Remembering not the shunned voices

But the kind sound of truth and believe

Today I am counting my blessings
