Beautiful Blessings
Beautiful Blessings are the moments we share
Beautiful Blessings are the ones who care
Beautiful Blessings are the ones we love
Beautiful Blessings come from above
Beautiful Blessings are beautiful smiles
Beautiful Blessings is laughter for miles
Beautiful Blessings are kisses and hugs
Beautiful Blessings is lots of love
Beautiful Blessings are the things we do
Beautiful Blessings are moments with you
An original poem written by me (Latisha J.Greaves-Barker)
Did I Forget?
Did I forget
my kids are awesome
my husband is great
I am a beautiful woman
That’s no mistake
Did I forget
I still have my life to live
so much to do
so much to give
Did I forget
the many ways I’m blessed
to focus on what’s good
and forget about the rest
Did I forget
I’ve got talent
there’s so much I could do
Lord, did I forget to look up
keep my eyes on you
The deceiver
he’s so good
so good at what he does
Keeping me from all my blessings
and the reason is because
I let him in, I let him in once more
And instead of looking to the sky
my eyes are on the floor
Instead of seeing the good around me
I try to run away, I try to flee
Did I forget who I am in Christ
Did I forget who paid the ultimate price?
Not for me to carry my load on my own
but to remember that I am a daughter of the King
and I will someday sit on my throne
I’m a Princess warrior and I’ve got what it takes to win
all I need is right here within
An original poem written by me (Latisha J.Greaves-Barker)
Count Your Gains, Not Your Losses
As we travel down life’s busy road
Complaining of our heavy load,
We often think God’s been unfair
And gave us much more than our share
Of little daily irritations
And disappointing tribulations.
We’re discontented 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 blessed us sweetly.
Our troubles fill our every thought,
We dwell upon the goals we sought;
And wrapped up in our own despair,
We have no time to see or share
Another’s load that far outweighs
Our little problems and dismays.
And so we walk with heads held low,
And little do we guess or know
That someone near us on life’s street
Is burdened deeply with defeat.
And if we’d but forget our care
And stop in sympathy to share,
The burden that our brother carried,
Our minds and hearts would be less harried;
And we would feel our load was small,
In fact, we carried no load at all.
