A Blender

A blender 
Can be used for mixing or crushing
Of many things 
Including the visible and the invisible
Happiness can survive alone
But happiness sometimes does blend
With sadness
While you're touring you see 
Startling poverty
While you're enjoying food 
With a lot of people yearning for it
At this moment
Feelings in your heart 
Seem to be mixed by a blender
Sadness always hurts deeply
Like being crushed by the blender
Unless sadness is blended
With hope
Welfare will give the needy hope
A prayer too
An encouragement too
Some confidence too
Some efforts too
And one's own determination 
To live to struggle and to try too
