Count your blessings, and treat them as your turkey dressings. If you don't eat turkey then dress whatever your flavors endeavor.

A friend of mine told me that he couldn't even sleep when he laid down at night.
He told me that he laid awake most of the night in fright,
because he knew something wasn't right.
Something was terribly wrong and he continued to see his doctor about his disorder,
in his attempt to get his life back in order.


Another friend just up and died one day,
that quick he was gone away.
Life can be a short tricky experience sometimes,
or all the times.
Depending on your particular situation,
in relation to your total life equation.


There are all type problems that can plague us in life.
The key is not to add any unnecessary problems and strife.
I would say that we should learn to count our blessings,
and add everything good to our turkey dressings.
Celebrate thanksgiving everyday,
when our lives aren't in dismay.


There are two categories of problems,
Ones we can do something about,
and ones that run their own route.
If a person doesn't have any serious strife,
then he should try real hard to enjoy his life.
Live in positivity,
instead of negativity.


Not having a lover isn't considered serious,
even though it can make you ferious.
Lovers come and go,
during lifes continuous flow.


If your name is Stevie Wonder,
then this could be a serious blunder.
If your name is Mike Tyson,
then this isn't a good reason,
to commit self treason.


You know the difference when it comes to terminal,
and criminal,
Criminals cause their own terminal,
because they refuse to quit being criminal.


Anyway, I wrote this because I feel good today,
just thinking out loud by writing this way.
I'm counting my blessings,
and enjoying my dressings,
while I can,
control my plan,
and enjoy my life span.
