Keep to the Right Path

Whenever you start to fret or worry,
If you feel impatient or in a hurry.
And you realise that you may be stuck
Walking your path of dreadful luck.

You feel despondent and dejected,
And by the whole world quite rejected.
Then you may ponder and you may think,
How much lower can my despair sink.

But can you just step off this road?
Can you set your mind to a cheerful mode?
Your view of life should now be lifted,
So from this path of joy do not be shifted.

Now your mindset has been improved
From this path do not be moved.
So now to black thoughts do say never.
And follow the right paths forever.
