Replace Sadness

If you find yourself dwelling on painful memories

Instead of the hope and joy that enters your life

Try to put them in a box in your past

So that happy thoughts can replace the strife.

Don't allow what has come and what has gone

To crowd out the positive and joyous

By taking up the space in your mind.

Rather, let the good times be boisterous

Think positive, be expectant, be hopeful.

Make new tracks through that gray matter.

Send negative thoughts to the disposal.

Serve up elation on a silver platter!

Be free! Have fun! Embrace the good inside!

Let the words of brightness and light flow!

Grow! Learn new things! Be very brave!

Evolve! Emerge! Transform! Let yourself grow!
