When You Think World Has Passed You By

When You Think World Has Passed You By When you exist not in this cold world read some poetry to soothe your mind. Stand up again with flag unfurled, break those cursed chains that so bind. Know a greater power watches you sometimes with a big happy smile. Give proper credit where it is due see Nature's sunshine all the while. Take each long night at its restful best ease your heart if you are so kind. Just living, may be the one true test write poetry, your soul you will find. When you think world has passed you by read and write, please ask not the why. R.J.
