FRIENDS ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST BLESSINGS ~ WE CAN HAVE !
AL OF US ~ face conflict ~ whether great or small
So count your many Blessings ~ name them one by one
Do not be discouraged ~ Friends will help you when you fall
It really will surprise you ~ just how many times you*ve won !
So count your many Blessings ~ name them one by one
Please dont envy others with their Fancy Homes & Cash
It really will surprise you ~ just how many times you*ve won
Think what LIFE can offer ~ if you*re not too FLASH !
Please dont envy others with their Fancy Homes & Cash
Count your many Blessings every doubt will fly
Think what LIFE can offer ~ if you*re not too FLASH
And you will be contented as the days go by !
Count your many Blessings every doubt will fly
Do not be discouraged ~ Friends will help you when you fall
And you will be contented as the days go by
ALL OF US ~ face conflict ~ whether great or small !
Thanks for reading ~ comments please ~ Love ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡💙🧡

A true wrote B&A. I got no blessings to count with Fido always barking though! heehee. It's not his fault - people should mark poems 18+ where need be!
A reading and talking dog? I could make millions with him.
THNAKS UNCLE STEVE ~ Pleased you enjoyed it. Never underestimate a DOG. FIDO is what the Police call a *Tracker Dog* He can track down the unsuitable and inappropriate (for young People like Angela & I !) on MPS ~ Such Dogs are marvelous ! Angela & I have scant reason to use the 18 button ~ but if we did and neglected too designate it FIDO would go BARKING M*D. A friend of mine has a Ma in Law like FIDO ! She instinctively know if FRED has committeed a misdomenour ! In our opinion FIDO is worth his weight in CHUM !
Blessings and JOY for You & Wonder Woof !
Love ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡💙🧡💙🧡
It's cool, it's nice, and it's great.
Pantoum...that's a word I didn't hear a for long time.
Never heard of it being verbally mentioned...but I do remember studying it.
Back then, I was really into poetry and spent time reading and experimenting on the different types of poetry (classical and invented) on shadowpoetry.
The website has explanation and examples.
That's where I first found out about Pantoum.

Thanks J44 (cool logo) Pleased you enjoyed the Presentation. I (BRIAN) studied English Literture at School and we were trained to understand (and use) Classical Forms of Poetry including PANTOUMS and the importance of repetition in POETRY ! ANGELA was educated in an English Public School in London so she too has a good understanding of Classic English Language & Literature ! Thanks for the link. Angela & I try to promote Classical Poetic Form ~ OK
Blessings & Peace & Joy
BRIAN & ANGEL💙🧡💙🧡💙
So you basically studied them in school...something which I, back then, seriously wanted to study but never got to.
Cool!
Yep I couldn't agree more. The sentiments of this piece are in my very make up.
Thanks DA ~ pleased it ticked your BOX ! In the Developed Countries (UK - USA etc) in the 21st C many poeple who have *everthing* still grumble about having *nothing* ! Even though we are 11,500 miles apart (and 11 hours ~ its 4am in NZ !) we can still SKYPE every day and count our Blessings in so many areas ! Friends of mine support a Church in Lethoso where the average annual wage is only £1000. They have so little (relatively) but my Friends say when they visit they are always Spritually Happy and always Count their Blessings DAY BY DAY ~ AMEN !
Blessings abundant & Peace to All
Love BRIAN & ANGELA 💙🧡💙🧡💙
Well, for christians it seems very convenient for a lot of them to forget "it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man (money wise) to enter the kingdom of heaven". In Bristol, there are more churches per square mile than anywhere else in U.K. which is the result of slave traders attempting to buy their way into heaven by financing the building of a church. The Roman Catholic christian church is the wealthiest organisation on the planet... according to google. Dual standards abound in christian churches.
Your poem is so true! We all have blessings without being rich in the monetary sense......thanks for sharing!
Gracias CHRIS - In your case we are preaching to the converted. Compared with the few material possessions we have - Our Spiritual Blessings are infinite ! Pleased you enjoyed the Presentation !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Muchos Abrazos y Besos
Amor en el Spirito Angela y Brian
🧡 💙 🧡 💙 🧡 💙 🧡

Be content while always aspiring
Very good write A and B. Our blessings in life are priceless and cost nothing.
