Notes About The Poem

For contest sponsored by Constance LaFrance

Abandon Fears Forget Tears

What is it your heart desires
To forget sadness be inspired 
To see silver lining in dark cloud
Perfect timing for happiness now

Leave the past behind 
You are going a new way
Life can be designed
If you think and pray

Use the old blues
That came from strife
To create a better view
A more full filled life 

Abandon salty blue tears
No longer need their service
Forget your fuchsia fears 
Live happy on purpose

Life gives you cards
So play your hand
Love twice as hard
Make your life grand
