Candy Stripes and Lifesavers

I see candy stripes and lifesavers,
and a beautiful rainbow in the sky.
They remind me of pretty colours
on those days I want to cry.

Beautiful, lush gardens surround me,
breezes send fragrances to my nose.
Just one whiff revitalises me,
from my head, way down to my toes.

I appreciate the sunrise,
when I rise to greet the day;
Then, later on, the warm sunset
as it's soft glow casts my way.

May I not dwell on each problem
that, today, I need to face.
Give me the courage and the fortitude
to handle them with grace.

Please occupy my mind with others,
when I think "too much" of me.
If I may help someone just by being there,
send me to that place where I should be.
