How to be Calm

How to be Calm

Whenever I feel stressed
I stop and think back
To my early childhood memories:
Playschool and Infant School-
A time of freedom from responsibility.

A time of painting and drawing
Of singing and dressing up.
Bedtime stories.  School.
A time of having nothing to worry about.
How easily this mindset can be forgotten.

It's funny how much reality
Can be skewed by perception
Newspapers create a kind of deception.
So we think the World
Is for the most part a worrying place.

So just do your best- I say-
For yourself and the World
Give generously to good causes
And become involved
in them if you can.

I try to keep a serenity
Through the hustle and bustle
And notice the small things
Like a smile or a door held open.
And think that the World is not such a terrible place.

A greeting.
