Counting My Blessings

I'm counting my blessings

I'm coming home,

Through all the toils &turmoils

& through all the suffering!

I look around;

& I see how blessed I was,

I am and always will be.

I was lost, so lost

It took me years and experiences profound.

The laughter seemed hollow

the pleasures unsatisfying.

I stared at the junction

Not sure which path to follow.

Then one day, 'neath the sunny sky

when I sat &didn't quite know

where to hide,

I counted my blessings

& I shivered

I saw what a schmuck

I was to have quivered.

And now, this day

I'm counting my blessings

I'm coming home.

Through all the toils &turmoils

& through all the suffering!

MY EVANGELINE

You smile upon me

from the heavens;

I'm mystified, intrigued

spellbound by your magic

I reckon.

You shine & shine

with your light so bright,

At times a distant twinkle

 in the tranquil of the night.

An entity apart

in the canopy of the moonlit sky;

the prettiest thing etched

up, above, so high.

This distance is too much

for me to tread,

Tied, you have me

clinging on to a thread.

I went places, I tried to chase you

I've been dreaming bout you lately.

Wait... Hey!that's all I ever do.

You beamed at me

Ah! that look i so knew!!

Oh Evangeline, My Evangeline

There's nothing more magnificent 

that I've ever seen .

I grew up gazing at you,

In LOVE 

I've always been.
