"When I Am Sad"

Once in a while,

When I am sad,

I try to find something

To make me glad.

I go out of the house;

Never mind I look a mess.

I sit on the bench

And ponder nature.

I see all the wonders

And imagine things.

How would it be,

If I were not here.

I think of my family

And how they would miss me,

And then I would know

Why I am alive.

I am not really depressed;

At least I don't think so.

I just need to be re-assured

Of my place around here.

I am loved,

This I do know.

My friends and family

Tell me so.

I do not think they lie;

For they show it in so many ways.

And I try my very best,

To return their love & affections.

There are times

when I am down,

that things seem to weigh

Ever so strongly.

Times of which,

I cannot see,

the reasons for existing,

Here on this plain.

Sometimes it is hard

To see just why,

But I know there's a plan,

Or God wouldn't let me "Be".

So, once in a while,

When I am sad,

I try to find something,

To make me glad.
