Count your Blessings

The poem below is my contribution to Jingle’s poets’ rally .

Count your blessings

Like children count stars.

Ignore  your troubles

and they’ll leave no scars.

–

Before he became a devil

Satan had been  an archangel.

Moses had a speech defect

but his message was accurate.

Mohammed was illiterate

but he had wisdom and strength.

Job lost health and wealth

But he had patience and faith

Jonas spent three nights

Inside a large whale

But his faith did not  fail .

–

Count your blessings

They outweigh your failings.

Make your blessings count

and their number will surely mount.

*************

Moses, Jonas , Job and Mohammed are all prophets .

peace be upon them all
