Don’t do as I did
Please do as I say
My friend you are mired
In pity each day
You’re stewing and brooding
About what you can do
But right now the best thing
That you should do
Is search in your mind
For solutions to see
Because out of work
Is affecting thee
You once said ‘a problem’
Is really not that
You said ‘opportunity’ is where it is at
Yes friend, I do understand
All you go through
Because I’ve been through just
What’s happening to you
So get out of your chair
And get out of your bed
And please really listen
To what I have said
Just start with a plan
And work it each day
And you’ll be surprised
Just what might come your way
Reach out to some other’s
And ask for their help
And you’ll be surprised
That there’s plenty of help
So do not just stew there
And think woe is me
There’s much opportunity
Take it from me
Just look for it now
Search for it
You’ll find out
That opportunity
Is what it’s about
