When sadness comes and firmly clings
I try to think of pleasant things
Bringing memories to my mind
Happy thoughts of every kind
Like hiking trails without a care
Pure white snow and crispy air
Pushing children on their swings
All these simple mundane things
Big white clouds in summer sky
Baby birds in nests near by
A cup of coffee, tasty bread
Sunsets in the night sky spread
A very special book to treasure
Going to the beach, such pleasure
In my mind these thoughts take place
All these blessings I embrace
