There are things
I don't understand,
but I count on them.
Electricity.  
A compass.  
Faith.

Things that light my way
and take me where I need to be.
Gravity.  
Common sense.
You.

Things I count on to
keep my feet on the ground.
Melody.
Tenacity.
A butterfly's gossamer wing.
Things I hold in my heart
when life looks bleak.

Make me pause each day to
remember these bountiful blessings.
Soften my heart when
small slights distract me.

Make me worthy of Your grace
as I live every day.
