Changing Moods

Life's Emotional Tribulations

When life is so richly blessed as has mine,
It'd not be right for me to gripe or whine;
I know that I'm responsible for my mood,
I have no right to be selfish or even rude;
When I start to get any negative feeling,
That is when I need some faith healing;
Self-pity can be the worst of them all,
That hits you hard like it's a brick wall;
When it affects you like no other way,
That's when you need to kneel and pray;
Then through the clouds the sun breaks,
For God forgives you of your mistakes;
You'll feel like the calm after the storm,
Inside you'll feel nice sunny and warm;
By confessing you'll replace the gloom,
With a flower that is ready to bloom;
A dreary mood fades in the morning mist,
Feeling love radiating as to being kissed;
As the joy and the hope increases within,
Feeling of beautiful love patterns to begin.
