Sometimes in life we get really sad
When situations around are looking really bad
Not understanding why unpleasant things come our way
While all around others lives seem so happy each day
But if we stop to reflect awhile
We may realise that all experience are trials
It’s not what we go through in life that is dire
It’s not observing the bigger picture that makes it feel like mire
There is a sun in the sky, sometimes we just don’t perceive
Although clouds obscure the rays, there’s no need to grieve
The sun is still there, it’s just hidden from view
So know in your mind that these clouds will pass too
Look inside your heart put away your tears
If you look deep enough they are just fears
Take a walk in the park, breath in the fresh air
Contemplate on your blessings, God given to share
Know you are loved by a force unseen
And that all life is a soul lesson to glean
That natural laws pervade all living things
So be happy because what comes to us we sometimes bring

Sometimes, I go in very quickly to try to participate in my break times which are few and far between, so sometimes in my haste I overlook things. Apologies but thank you for your comment.
