Words of Wisdom 

When all is confused 
and feelings are down, 
nothing to do 
to ease the sound, 
of painful throbbing 
never to end, 
dampened spirits 
crying doesn't mend. 

Take a deep breath, 
backward from ten, 
wipe the trails 
where tears have been, 
take a long walk 
under the stars, 
clearing the mind 
of emotional scars. 

Think of sunshine 
in a positive place, 
one step at a time, 
life's not a race, 
forget the past, 
troubles now gone, 
look to tomorrow 
and welcome the dawn. 

Life is a choice, 
to be as it will, 
made up of moments, 
despair or thrill, 
the time has come, 
descisions everywhere, 
to build a new life, 
takes thought and care. 

Be wary each moment, 
for it takes but one, 
before you know it, 
life will be done, 
when looking back, 
was it good or bad? 
did everything desired, 
or wish you had? 

With every decision, 
comes an end, 
to gain an enemy, 
or lose a friend? 
a simple task 
can change a life, 
consider this first 
or live in strife.
