When the world seems to spin ever faster
And you sense of control has gone
What is there left for you to do , but
Hold your nerve and carry on
This isn’t the same as denial
Or not admitting that times are tough
Its more about resilience
And having self belief – that’s enough
So take a deep breath and keep going
Put ‘you’ at the top of the list
Hold your nerve, carry on, always knowing
That in time, those lost things won’t be missed!
