no matter how bad you have it--someone else has it much worse

no matter how bad you think you have it--someone else has it much worse for sure:
so whatever problems you face--just do your best to overcome and endure:
there are many that have more than enough--they have plenty:
then there are so many more that dont have any--there pockets are empty:

we know we must count our blessings big and small:
gotta lift up our head and stand tall:
when life knocks us out:
just gotta be calm dont panick and shout:

there are people that had everything:
they put themselves on a pedastal like a king:
then everything in a flash became lost:
all there luxurios dreams forever tossed:

as we all get older we come to realize and know :
just enjoy life and take it slow:
your health and wellbeing is what matters most:
hold onto your family and love and cherish them the most:

the next time your feeling down and less than elite:
realize many people in the world go to bed hungry with nothing to eat:
the next time that you thirst for a drink:
realize there are those who are so dehydrated and thirsty--just think:

when your lying in your bed comfortably in the safety of your home:
realize the homeless sleeping outside in a cardboard box cold afraid and alone:
when your problems bring you down:
pause and pray then humbly look around:

do what you can to help your fellow man:
reach out a helping hand help someone stand:
count your blessings big and small:
whatever problems you may face--stand up square and tall:

whatever problems that you face try your best to take it in stride:
use your coping skills talk to family or friend someone who you can trust and confide:
have faith keep hope and pray all throughout your day:
pray for gods guidance and mercy to guide thy way:

always know that whatever depth your problems are:
that there are others with problems so much greater than yours by far:
when you are down and out and in your deepest hurt sadness and despair:
reach out to another and show them your love and compassion and that you care:
when we are at our lowest and reach out to another and our love share:

it is then that we will be blessed:
its as if we have passed gods test:
pray for those in greater need:
do not suucumb to selfishness and greed:

all you have in this world you will loose:
but all you give away will forever be yours --you decide how to choose:
count your blessings big and small:
with gods love stand humbly stand proud and tall:
