Cira Ardwin - Blessing

Don't look at the flowers,
by the thorns, but by the
beautiful petals. Don't count, your age
by the years but for
your blessings. Don't look at the misery
of this world, but to see
the beauty that God
created.
Look always at your tears, like
a dew to make you
grow in spiritual
thoughts and love. And don't ever forget, when
you are going to bed,
to thank the almighty
God, that gave you
all your blessings.
