I was enjoying life when without warning waves of financial problems, sickness and the death of my wife from cancer came crashing down around me until I found myself being washed away by floods of negative emotions. During this time I started writing poetry. Poetry opened up my soul so that the hurt flowed out and the light could shine in. My poem “Count it All Joy” helped me to look at problems from a positive perspective and start feeling like a victor rather than a victim. I hope this poem will do the same for all who read it Count it All Joy! A host of problems got to me They made me mad as mad could be. Why do bad things keep happening to me? Why can’t my life be problem free? Day after day I questioned why. And often times I would just cry. When will bad things just let me be? Why can’t my life be problem free? One day the answer I did learn As anger did within me burn I had to face reality There is no life that’s problem free So now when problems come to me I do not cry nor question why I have overcome the fantasy Of wanting to live problem free Now I am calm within the storm His peace keeps me from alarm I smile when problems come to me Count them all joy and I am free.
