'Do Not Let It' by Theophilus Femi Alawonde

There’s always something to wreck your day,

something obstructive to mar your way,

a thought to change blue skies to grey,

If you let it.

There’s always something to spoil your fun,

disturb your mind when the day is done,

a cloud that threatens to hide the sun,

If you let it.

There’s always something to make you bad,

a depressing thought that makes you sad,

the vulnerability that makes you feel mad,

If you let it.

Ignore what upsets you-the stones, the stings,

find something good in whatever the day brings,

life will surround you with wonderful things,

If you let it.
