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 Sponsor: Dr. Ram Mehta Contest: Sonnetina Rispetto Written: October 28, 2014 Respect for others

this is like our church's primary song. If you chance to meet a frown , do not let it stay. Simply turn it upside down , and smile that frown away!! Congrats for your win!

This is so good and you did such a clean job of flowing with the mandotory repeated lines of this form. I loved it.
