'Count Your Life': A new counting poem for National Poetry Day 2024

Updated: Sep 29

It's nearly time for National Poetry Day 2024. The theme is #counting, so I wrote a counting poem for #NationalPoetryDay about counting the things in life that really matter - things that we often take for granted.


Never forget to count those things that make you who you are.

Count Your Life

 

Count your fingers

Count your toes

Count your ears

your eyes and nose

 

Count your stomach

Count your veins

Count your lungs

your heart and brain

 

Count your seconds

Count your vows

Count your smiles

your ows and wows

 

Count your rivers

Count your seas

Count your birds

your fields and trees

 

Count your courage

Count your strides

Count your truth

your love and pride

 

Count your tears

Count your scars

Count your life

and lucky stars
