When Depression Tempts

As my brown eyes open
I feel that coping
with today is hopeless..
Such a dark word.
Then, suddenly I heard
a sound from
my window.
Yawning, stretching,
heading to the pane
Clearing the cobwebs from
my brain and
Staring into the
sunshine,
I can't complain...
There He is!
My little bird,
the one who heard
my heart drop..
Came to sing a song of Spring
tweet, cling, and ping
What a precious little thing!
My heart lifts and I feel
grateful, refreshed,
and truly blessed!
Tempted by moments
of low depression;
Feeling abandoned,
an old obsession...
Friends come and go,
People do move on
but my little bird tells me
I am not alone
Sing birdie sing!
Songs of light and love!
Share with me
your secret
to keep your pretty song
Amazing and Strong..
Believe and leave
Negative thoughts
Buried in the ground
Turning frowns around
Making the best of the worst...
I can do this!
For life I thirst!
For love I freely give
and today
I am happy that I live
Sober and free!
Now I decree that depression
Will not
Overtake me!
Believe!
