Count Your Blessings

Celebrating our seventy years of service as Cerebral Palsy Midlands this year, I have been researching through our rich archives and history to find our early beginning's and how we come to be set up offering day care services to adults with cerebral palsy and relating conditions. Today I found a yearbook, celebrating fifty years of Midlands People with Cerebral Palsy (MSA) now Cerebral Palsy Midlands (CPM) and inside the yearbook, a poem written by one of our long term clients, Margaret Green, caught my eye.
Count your blessings by Margaret Green
All of us have problems
Which makes us gripe and groan
So that feel hard done by
And gives us cause to moan
But when I look around at life
And see how it can be
I see many other folk
Much worse off than me
It makes me stop and wonder
How awful it would be
If I were suddenly struck blind
With eyes that could not see
And loving music as I do
My feelings are so strong
For all the deaf who cannot hear
The sound of birds in song.
