Count Your Many Blessings
By: Noah Eaton
10/4/01

Put your hand over your heart, feel it beat
Show me a smile, and count your many blessings
Don't treat your tears like an anachronism
Renunciate, then let your laughter wake

The air is pregnant with the sweet angelic intoxication
Roll around in the daisies, feel nature's fascination
Lay your chances on tomorrow, show them in cheers
Find that child deep inside of you, and let innocence flow through the years

Love is all you need
Love is all you need to believe
Love is always with you
May your love always sing true

Look up and down, all around
Find what makes you happy and sing aloud
Plant cartwheels on your happy turf, plant dreams in the soil
Wrap your pinkie around your teacup and sip joy as it boils

Love is all you need
Love is all you need to believe
Love is always with you
May your love always sing true

Count your many blessings
Multiply all your memories
Then share your love with your friends and family
So they can see all the love you see...

A poetic reminder that we indeed have many blessings to count~

'Plant cartwheels on your happy turf'

Now THAT idea appeals to me~
Marge can be found cartwheeling~
