When Sadness Comes...

When a sad day is upon you
think of a holiday
Tis really up to you
to celebrate each day

When sadness enters your heart
recollecting the past
Halt it quickly
remind yourself to the here and now

When you hear something sad
tell yourself it's not all bad
Worst could have been
be glad it didn't

When sadness comes
cry if you want to
Inhale and exhale
then move forward

When sadness is overpowering
seek a friend to hold your hand
It will ease the pain
a smile you can gain

When you are sad
surround yourself with happy friends
Your spirits will soar
Your burden appearing light

When sadness is caused
Happiness can be made
A change of thought is all it takes
A courageous heart awakes
filled with love and gratitude
for all that is...And
not all that isn't
