Don't Do It, My Dear Friend

Life was not meant to be easy The roads have always been rocky The streets are not paved with gold And the sky cannot be fold and unfold Don't do it, my dear friend If you need a helping hand Just reach out, take a long walk Meditate, have a long talk With someone special and pray Problems do not fly away Problems are solved bit by bit Slowly by being bright and creative Be alert, quick and proactive Always watch for the big crate Because gravity can't be controlled And the world can't be fully patrolled Don't think about it, my friend We all need a helping hand To cross the bridge of our daily lives Don't do it; suicide is not the answer Don't do it, when the devil arrives Fight with courage, wisdom and vigor Fight the bad thoughts with God's words Be valiant. Use all types of swords That you have at your disposal Be in control; be the grand marshal. Copyright © January 2019, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved.
