Count Your Blessings !

Dear blog

I know it has been long since I last scribbled something. It's just that I was cherishing the beauty of my life... My School-Life (to be precise !) Anyways, here I am, sharing another poem of mine. I don't know how to describe the mood of this poem, just like I cannot describe my mood these days! Though I am smiling, but I cannot deny that there's pain residing deep in my heart ... I am scared ! Coming back to what I am supposed to do here, following is my poem, in which the repeated words are actually what I could recall about one of my favourite nursery rhymes. So, if you have heard the rhyme I am inspired from, don't go around with raised eye-brows ! Enjoy ...


COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

When Life appears a punishment,
And tears become a way of life.
When a glass of happiness, half-full
Appears a glass half-empty!
When nothingness offers a refuge to your soul,
And your soul offers nothing but nothingness,
Just count your blessings,
Name them one by one.
And it will surprise you,
What the Lord has done ...

When you fail to smile at the sight of a butterfly,
And shoo it away, abusing it as an insect.
When friends become mere acquaintances,
And their sight becomes ever-disgraceful.
When a cute, little joke carries
The courage to hurt your soul,
Just count your blessings,
Name them one by one.
And it will surprise you,
What the Lord has done ...

Perhaps Life will become a celebration again,
Perhaps tears of joy will grace the way of your life again,
Perhaps drop-by-drop, your glass of happiness will be full soon,
Perhaps all your friends will be your best friends again,
Perhaps you start joking to see your friends smile,
Perhaps nothing will be disgraceful, ever
Perhaps nothingness will be nothing,
If you just start counting your blessings
And see how blessed you are !

Fight on, Move on and hence Live on ...
