Forgetting To Remember Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Live!
Live life to know the fortune of it.
Each day awaken to count your blessings.
Dismiss what it is you wish,
That has yet to appear.
But comes.
Like all of your other blessings.
You forget to count one by one.
As you live.
To let go unnoticed,
How blessed and fortunate you are.
Each and everyday you live,
Forgetting to remember to be thankful.
Forgetting to remember your fortune.
Forgetting to remember,
Who it was or 'what'...
Decided your life,
Is a blessing given to you to give and get.
