Counting My Blessings

I wrote this when I was extremely happy, and it's message is something I need to remind myself of. You should remember it too.

I started counting good things in my life
And I started to count my worries and strife
The good things took longer; hours on end
Whilst the bad things took seconds, it was hard to comprehend
Because in school I was good at maths; I didn't even try
But now I guessI've realised I still can't count that high,
All my virtues and amenities added up rather quickly,
And the volume of the bad things stacked up not nearly so thickly.
So now I'm sure that life is so much more than good to me
And life is good in general; count your blessings and you'll see.
