A Hundred & A Thousand

Count your blessings children!
Do not be like Aaron,
Who forgot to count his,
Now his lands are barren.

How old are you?
How many mornings have you seen?
Do you still remember the dew?
How long has it been.

The last time we met,
you counted a hundred nights
and a thousand mornings
but you wanted to count a million
before you’d give thanks.
I just wanted you to know,
that time might not let you
count them all again.
Therefore for every morning you wake,
kneel down and give thanks.

Count your blessings children!
Do not be like Aaron,
Who forgot to count his,
Now his lands are barren.
