Avoid the news,
For it will give you the blues.
Have a talk
and go out for a walk.
Having a dance,
Will also enhance
your mood for a while,
Try to smile.
Paint and draw
and do some more
tasks in your day,
You’ll find a way.
Learn in a class
and this too shall pass.
When you’re depressed,
Don’t worry dear, have a rest,
Remember to weep
as you drift off to sleep.
