Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
   Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
   Count your friends instead of your foes.

Count your smiles instead of your tears;
   Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
   Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.

Count your health instead of your wealth;
   Count on God instead of yourself.
