Blessings

In our daily lives
We focus on the wrong things
Like the temporary,
The immediate and the tangible

We focus on the looming deadlines
The impending exams
The family struggles
And the diagnosis that threatens

They are close to us
We carry them with us
And the urgency strangles us
They are hard to ignore

But we need to look higher
To see what is important
And live life to the full
Counting our blessings every day
