When life gets tough the tough get goin...


Poem Artwork

 

Dust Yourself Off
 
When your life seems overwhelming with all things going array.
And depression takes a hold by spiraling you each and every day.
If you let your life continue on its driven path you cannot survive.
Its time for you to regroup, sound praise and thank God you’re alive.
 
For as long as you take a breath you can fight to conquer all.
You can pick yourself up dust yourself off and begin to stand tall.
I’m not saying it’s going to be easy it takes much courage to try.
But I do promise you it will make a difference, from where you now lie.
 
Start with counting your blessings even if you think they’re small.
For everyday you will see more which is better than none at all.
Shift your life to others and give them your love and affection.
For you receive so much in return, you will see a beautiful reflection.
 
Sometimes when we help others, they see who we really are.
A person that is hurting and in pain, but one who could go far.
 
Written by,
Bonnie May

Well done, Bonnie! Your serious poems have been always so inspiring and helpful. I don't know if you are able to see good words about your poems written on these pages. now that you are in Heaven, but I'm pretty sure the King Himself has told you how pleased He has been with your faithful life.

Lovely words, Bonnie! You are absolutely correct, we must be thankful for every single day. I realize that more and more as the years go by. What happened to my 20's, 30's & 40's? I'm agine with gratefulness now. Thanks for sharing this wonderful poem.

I was always taught that service is the key to overcoming depression...but you have to not be at rock bottom empty in order to give...sometimes it is a catch 22 situation. Thanks for the words of encouragement. February is known as the worst month for depression.

The thing is that although this poem is very good, and insightful... it is also simply a validation of who you are! Kind, giving and loving...and always more generous than most on this planet... how blessed we are to know you! hugs, lindalaw
