Troubles come and troubles go
Ignorant of which way the bell will toll
What’s important is what you do
To the trials facing you
Times are hard and things go wrong
Problems rise and you do not feel strong
Worries surface all the day long
Confusing thoughts play like a broken song
Yet, within your mind there is a way
To beat the conflict and have a say
Help brighten up your dim day
And drive those niggling thoughts far away
