SITUATIONS

Through our trail of life
We are constantly faced
With varying situations –
Some may be happy
Others may be sad
All in all a mix we made.

Joyous, elated ones
Are easy to deal with -
Sad, threatening ones
May cause much stress
Strain our emotions
Bring on depressions.

What’ll you do
When it is your situation –
Panic, throw up your arms
Look for what, whom to blame,
Calm yourself, be logical
Believe in yourself, have faith.

Organize all about you,
Seek qualified help from
Your family, relatives, friends –
Obtain free counseling from
Social Services, County, State,
Federal, private special services.

Regroup, retrain, know it will take effort
You have done it before, now do it again -
Dismiss the negative as much as you can
Accentuate, concentrate on the positive
You have the power within you, do not fray
Stay on your goal, smile; you’re on your way.
