Which Way Is Up

Up is when you look down and see the ground
But you can still manage to turn a smile around from a frown.
Up is when things look bad but you still feel good
And people look at you but don't see the person they thought they should.
Up is when kaos is all around you but you're at peace
When in the midst of a storm you still praise God without cease.
Up is being able to help someone when they are in need
Being an example and planting a good seed.
Up is standing for someone when they are weak
Having a strong voice and knowing when to speak.
Up is putting God first in all that you do
Striving each and every day to be a better you.
Up is loving, caring and sharing with others
Being good mothers,  fathers,  sisters and brothers.
Up is thinking and speaking positive everyday
And working hard to keep old man satan away.
Up is kinowing that you serve a God who is mighty and strong
And He will steer you in the right way when you have gone wrong.
Up is always to yourself be true and know there's no one better than you.
So just look up at the big beautiful blue sky
And know that with Faith there's no way that you can't get by.

Keep looking up!
