When the world is topsy turvy
And the wrong outweighs the right
When you’re sitting in a corner
Just too tired to fight
When there’s too much noise around you
When your voice just can’t be heard
When you can’t find quiet in your head
You don’t have to say a word
When life has lost its shine
When everything is dim
Close your eyes and open your heart
Be ready for light to shine in
When you can’t hold on anymore
When you don’t know what to do
When all feels lost and broken
Let your soul cry out for you

I like this. It reminds me of Rudyard Kipling’s “If” … similarly uplifting

Who is Madam Marmoset?! Well, I don’t know who she is (yet), but I know she surely knows how to create a beautiful symphony of words! I’m amazed.
Thank you for the introduction, a bit of sunshine on a rainy day. 🙂

It’s the only way. Love how the rhyming structure doesn’t constrain but liberates – *almost* cheerfully – here. 🙂
