And if you think all is lost,
look again.
Surround yourself with happiness,
with love, peace, and good friends.
And if anger overcomes you,
look around.
Don't give into temptations,
pick yourself up off the ground.
And if happiness is what you seek,
don't be afraid to venture on.
While the world may seem so bleak,
paint a new picture, write a new song.
And if love is something you fear,
carry on to find it.
Never let your hopes disappear,
never succumb to the silence.
XOXO
For Beverly and Telma
