Some people move our souls to dance.

Count your garden by the flowers,
Never by the leaves that fall,
Count your days by golden hours,

Count your nights by stars, not shadows.
Count your years by smiles, not tears.
Count your blessings, not your troubles,
Count your age by friends, not years. Betsy Fox
