The Things That Count
by

Count your garden by the flowers,
never by the leaves that fall.
Count your days by garden hours,
don't remember clouds at all.
Count your nights by stars, not shadows.
Count your years with smiles, not tears.
Count your blessing, not your troubles.
Count your age by friends, not by years.

G'day All A birthday card that I was sent some years ago has: Count your garden by the flowers, never by the leaves that fall. Count your days by golden hours, don't remember clouds at all. Count your nights by stars, not shadows. Count your life by smiles, not tears. And with joy, on every birthday, count your age by friends, not years.

Definitely a poem to hang on the refrigerator as a reminder to "count our blessings".
