At some point we need to stop and rest

When we get frustrated and we get stressed

For when our mind begins to feel this way

It makes it hard to get through the day

And everything around us goes down hill

And in our heart we loose the will

To keep a positive attitude and not to fret

Over the things in life we get

For some days are easy and some are not

But God still cares an awful lot

And it matters not what’s on our plate

There’s no need for us to carry the weight

Of frustration and of stress

For they only cause more distress

And that is why we need to take a time out

To remind our selves there’s no need to pout

For when we stay in this type of mood

We are left alone to fight our own feud

So the frustration and the stress isn’t worth it

When it gives us the mentality to give up and quit

So we shouldn’t allow negative moods of any kind

To destroy the happiness for us God has in mind.
