Sometimes - the universe comes to the rescue On a down and out day. Even when the world seems upside down The sun shines from somewhere brightening the skies of the mind The sun rays beam through the radio in much loved songs that play one after the other Or a little surprise that draws a smile A considerate gesture that gives wings Signs they seem to be - Coaxing us to look up Lifelines of hope And one holds on to them With utmost gratitude.
