Kindness To a Mouse
Sometimes you get yourself off track
you didn't plan it so
the emptiness inside is deep
and you are feeling low
The healing process may be hard
recovery can hurt
when staring down your many faults
you'd rather just desert
But doing something, anything
will change your mind and heart
constructive use of energy
is one good way to start
It may require pain and sweat
and that's as it should be
for going up against your grain
can truly set you free
You may need to apologize
to someone for a wrong
try prayer for a person that
you've disliked for so long
The road to joy is difficult
it challenges your fears
you have to put down many things
picked up throughout the years
But sometimes, simple things will do
like cleaning up your house
A broken heart may even mend
through kindness to a mouse
