When a situation comes about
which is hard to control in life
The options we decide to take
makes a difference in our toil and strife

How we handle the circumstances
thrown into our paths we walk
Definitely affects our emotions
of how we react and talk

We can let these storms make us worry and fret
and get us unhappy and down
Then we will cry a lot of the time
on our faces wearing nothing but a frown

Or we can continue to count our blessings
there are many of them around
If we will but open up our minds
an immeasurable number can be found

Then we will not be worrying
about those situations we have as much
Our minds will be much more at ease
as we will feel a peaceful touch
