Are you sad?
Are you depressed?
Do you think there's no reason
To continue in this life?

Please read this.
I promise you there are reasons.
It's taken me a while to find them.
Let me show them to you.

Freshly fallen snow.
It glistens like frozen gold.
It's Narnia on Earth.
It's true magic now shown.

Sunsets and sunrises.
No two alike.
Each as unique as a person.
A dawn and a dusk, a new promise.

A rainbow.
The sign of God.
Beauty of nature.
A symbol of hope.

A river and a waterfall.
Always moving, always churning.
Reshaping the world,
One day at a time.

Flowers in spring.
New life, a sweet perfume.
Put there for us
A symbol of life.

The sun.
Always burning, always giving.
Golden beams of warmth
That sustain you.

The moon.
A comfort in darkness.
The mother of stars
And giver of freedom.

The ocean.
It beats upon the shore
With a madness and a beauty
Of nothing ever before.

An owl.
An omen, good and bad.
A spirit of wisdom
And the wings of wind.

Horses.
Magnificent creatures who love to no end.
They see your soul.
They are always your friend.

An old book, or a new.
To take you to a world
You never before knew.
A new story, with new choices.

Your friends and family.
Always there for you.
Always loving you.
Whether by blood, or by bond.

The summer breeze,
Blowing away your sorrows.
Rejuvenating your heart.
Singing of joy.

Christmas time.
A time of hope and love.
A time of singing and celebration.
A reminder of our Lord.

These are merely a fraction
Of the wonderful things on earth.
Placed here just for you.
All bits and pieces remembrance of you.

If you can't remember
A few reasons to survive,
Please my friend, just listen
To the voices of the Earth.

Take a moment to look around.
Truly see what is there.
Take a moment and listen
To the birds, the water, and the air.

There are reasons.
I promise you, so many.
Things may be bad now.
But there is always sunshine after a storm.
