When the spirit is down

When the spirit is down,

When people appear as if they don’t have time for you;

When it appears that people you trust have betrayed you,

When it happens that people you like seem to dislike you;

When it looks as if people whom you rely on have let down you,

When people you like don’t seem to have the time for you;

When the ‘Gold’ seems to slip away from you,

When it feels that without ‘Gold’ it is meaningless;

When you feel that life doesn’t hold much promise ahead,

When you feel sick to the core;

That is the time to get whacky and attempt something new;

That is the time to gird up and make things happen;

That is the time to make people realise what they’ve let go;

For When the Going gets Tough and seems Pointless,

Only the Tough, the very Best get going and get there.
