All that I have I am grateful for
all that I want is just greed,
upon counting my blessings I find
I have everything that I need.
Making somebody smile is amazing
giving my love is a pleasure,
being needed is always an honour
and receiving love is a treasure.
Life is all about friendship
if you're down and don't know what to do,
and you can't find someone to help
talk to someone worse off than you.
We all have our share of heartaches
blame each other for causing the pain,
but usually when we get through it
we find there is something we gain.
If God gave the gift of life
and nature provided the rest,
the least we can do is be thankful
or at least try our very best.

I love the rhythm and rhyme of this, great style, carrying the message so joyfully along. The last line works wonders for me, as we are human and cannot always get things right on the first try, but the important thing is what is in our hearts, and how our feet carry out what is in our hearts. Well done. Thank you for this great entry.
