When the world's falling down around you <br />And you've no clue what it's all about, <br />When down is up and wrong is right <br />And black is white and in is out; <br />When you feel you're on your back <br />And no one's there to lend a hand... <br />Pick yourself back up again- <br />Dust yourself right off and then <br />Stand. <br />If you're feeling lost and lonely <br />And you're quite the shade of blue <br />And it seems that all your friends <br />Have more important things to do; <br />You even doubt that Spirit has any gifts for you... <br />Think of all the happy times <br />And all that you've got planned. <br />Feel the strength that flows through you, <br />And Stand. <br />And remember this, my darling one, <br />Whatever else you do; <br />You've always got a friend in me, <br />Just like I have in you... <br />Though I'm not right beside you now <br />I'm just a thought away somehow, <br />I'll help you up when you are down; <br />I'll make you smile-I'll play the clown... <br />I'm always here for you, my dear- <br />To lend a helping hand; <br />Because I care I will be there <br />And I will help you <br />Stand.<br /><br />Vicki Ellis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stand-3/
