Sara Kendrick Poet Rispetto

Inside Out

When life seems hard and you are down
Sad lips are in an awful frown
Turn your focus inside outward
See what others are all about
Then you'll find without a doubt
Reasons to look with thanks skyward

When life seems hard and you are down
Sad lips are in an awful frown
Look around your large or small town
Look at the ghetto all run-down
Turn your focus inside outward
With reasons to look with thanks skyward
When life seems hard and your are down
Sad lips are in a dowward frown
