My way to cheer up

My way to cheer up

By May Kwek

My solution to an upset mind

Is very simple as you will find

First you take up some time

And add the happiest book you can find

Now you must read it to the end

Yes, yes, read on my friend!

Let your mind be absorbed in the story

And never think about what made you sorry

Use the book or whatever you will

To warm your heart from the chill

Use it to move on, to forget

And not let troubles catch you in their nets

Then the next time you want to sigh

Use the memories to distract your mind

And you will find that you brighten up in some way

Though perhaps not all the way
