Alternative way

If you are feeling at a low ebb

Despondent unable to cope with lifes web

Heartbroken, unappreciated

Clothed but feeling stark naked

When you want to give up,stop, look for hope

Regroup, retrench and for a moment,be a castle in a moat

Find your essence, the centre of your being

Retreat into your inner eye do new seeing

Let go of all the things you can’t control

Hold all your strengths and blessings to extol

Grieve for dreams unfulfilled

Wishes and hopes that have chilled

Then parcel that grief and toss it away

Breath deep the scent of the happiness bouquet

Find small green shoots to nurture, even in the devastation

Don’t give up, hold on, it’s all in the interpretation

Find lifes alternative way.
