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.
I love the message of both of these poems! I love the message in the first...you truly do not know what you have until it's gone. I found this line to be powerful:
ReplyDelete"Suppose you’d be more truly blessed
If good things failed to come"
That's actually quite true when you really think of it.
