Analysis of Count Each Blessing
When you greet each morning
I hope you greet me too
Please don't keep me scorning
I need the love from you
When you reach each landing
I hope you reach me too
Please don't keep me handing
I need the love from you
When you thank each dining
I hope you thank me too
Please don't keep me pining
I need the love from you
When you heal each smarting
I hope you heal me too
Please don't keep me parting
I need the love from you
When you touch each living
I hope you touch me too
Please don't keep me giving
I need the love from you
When you count each blessing
I hope you count me too
Please don't keep me guessing
I need the love from you
