COUNT YOUR GAINS AND NOT YOUR LOSSES

As we travel down life's busy road
complaining of our heavy load,
We often think Gid's been unfair
and gave us much more than our share
Of little daily irritations
and disppointing tribulations...
We're disconnected with our lot
and all the bad breaks that we got,We count our losses,not our gain,
and remember only tears and pain...
The good things we forget completely when
God looked down and blesses us sweetly,
Our troubles fill our every thought,
we dwell uopn lost goals we sought,
And wrapped up in our despair
we have no time to see or share
Another's load thatfar outweighs
our little problems and dismays...
And so we walk with head held low
and little do we guess or know
That someone near us on life's street
is burdened deeply with defeat...
But if we'd but forget our care
and stop in sympathy to share
The burden that our brother carried,our mind and heart would be less harried
And we would feel our load was small
in fact,we carried no load at all.
