The Nature of Help

Own best cheerleader I can be
To fight off insanity!

Have to travel down the road
Or get squashed like a toad!

Have an area of being calm
Soothes the aching like a balm

Sometimes stay just down-to-earth
To keep up a sense of worth

Focus on God; focus on life
To kick out the inner strife

Up and up and up you go
To the stars tally-ho!

JoSHUA, YOu seem to be acquainted with this topic. I deal with my hubbie having depression. It's a very hard thing. I like the upbeat nature to this poem. Luv, Andrea
