Grandma's Advice

When frustrated and stuck in a hole Pick yourself up with a small goal Told me my wise old grand mother Patching a fabric on worn out sweater. Pick up some small pinning Make a salad or white pudding Take a walk, ring up a friend Fly a kite or do rope jumping. Simple pleasure and no arrogance Like zephyr filled with fragrance Like a blue bird sitting on a fence Brings beauty and meaning to life. Staying involved is never easy Not every company feels cozy But isolation is more detrimental Loving life and yourself is essential. Not every sunrise is glorious Or each sunset harmonious Some days are sure lackadaisical Still life is full of sweet wonders.
