Don't FORGET the GOOD STUFF!

How Good You Have It

By: the iHope Poet

You’ll never know how good you have it

Till it’s gone;

And now we’re always ending up that way.

Suppose you’d be more truly blessed

If good things failed to come;

But who would you be if that were the case?

I experience this almost every day.

My worldly cares come first, meanwhile I throw away

What life really means

And all goodness’s worth in between.

So then know how good you have it

Before it leaves;

You won’t be one of those lost on their way

Because of what greed deceives. 

Count Them Now

 By: the iHope Poet

Count them this minute before they're lost

it is hard to measure 

how dearly they cost.

Prove in your heart that you have all you need

from life's bare necessities 

you can plant a seed.

All it takes is  the knowledge of gratitude's weight

then there isn't a limit

to what good you'll create.
