Sometimes things don't go our way,
and the sky seems bleak and grey.
We long for our Camelot.
The good times we have forgot.
The darkness seems all encompassing.
The inactivity is immobilizing.

Stop! Think of the joy that each day can give.
It is time to start afresh and live.
Think of dear friends who give us their warm smile.
These people you can count on to walk the extra mile.
A new day brings new opportunities.
A new day can set us free.
If we look again the grey skies will be blue again.
Life each day is never the same.
Accept and embrace each and every day.
The good times are never really far away.
