Goodbye Blues For Friend Marvin Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

When you are finding life too tough
and feel as if you’ve had enough
There’s only one thing you can do.
You must conduct a life review.

Weigh up the good against the bad.
Recall the good times that you’ve had,
I am quite sure if you reflect
although life is far from perfect.

I rather think that you’ll agree
if you reviewed things honestly.
Things aren’t as bad as they appeared
and find your blues have disappeared.

Expose your problems to the light,
when written down in black and white.
You can resolve them one by one
until the very last is gone.

Don’t leave them festering unseen
Just give your mind a thorough clean.
If you adopt this strategy
you’ll find it works immediately.

Your life takes on a rosy hue
because you’ve changed your point of view.
A simple change of attitude
is all you need to lift your mood.
