Weighing it by Hundreds

There are a hundred reasons why I'm a complainer,

and at least a hundred and one of why I shouldn't be.

There are a hundred reasons to wish for a do-over,

but just as many to say, "wouldn't be prudent to alter fate."

I can think of a hundred things that make life bitter,

but grateful that thousands make it so sweet.

There were hundreds of reasons that life made me weak,

But ten thousands of reasons I stood strong instead.

There are hundreds upon thousands of children in the world,

But I am so grateful that I had "the four" that were given to me.

There are a hundred reasons why not to Believe,

but I can think of millions of why I do!
