Counting ones blessings


The poor man counts his blessings
the rich man counts his gold,
comforts and privilege  he has many
while the poor shiver in the cold,
looking for a brighter tomorrow
for some good health, good friends and cheer
that's surely better than the rich mans crock of gold,
they say that everyone is born equal
but that's not a true reflection of society,
the gap between rich and poor gets bigger every day
but a  just and fair society  must surely be on its way,'
we must always appreciate the blessings in life
yet  should take nothing ever for granted
keep on fighting for justice, a better world for all.
