Cherish

whenever you are angry, lost, disappointed, or down
whenever upon your speeches people yawn 
your boss, father, or friend frown
remember you still have eyes to read 
lungs to breath, legs to dance
and a heart to pray

no one is your slave 
no one will accompany you to the grave
have mercy upon the weak
you are nobody's master but you

look around and see
count the blesses you have
so many you still seek
whatever you lose 
you will never lose it all 
be thankful, 
be thankful
cherish your blesses before they perish.
