Emotions



Emotions live within us all, they make us rise, they make us fall.

We all have feelings, good and bad, some are happy, some are sad.



Our feelings live within our soul,

If we don’t let them out, they might make a hole.

For feelings are meant to be shared with others,

With our friends, our kids, our sisters and brothers.



Love feels so good, to give and to get,

Love is just endless, on that you can bet.

And peace is so calm, like a smooth lake at dusk,

And quiet like the mountains, it smells like musk.



Happiness and joy makes us smile ear to ear,

It’s like playing with a puppy, or petting a dear.

But along with good feelings, sometimes we might find,

That we feel sadness or pain, but I really don’t mind.



Cuz I know that after the sadness goes away,

I’ll feel good again, it will be a new day.

Those feelings of grief or anger or rage,

Are gone, then I can start a new page.



So embrace all your feelings,

The good and the bad,

Don’t push them away,

You‘ll end up being glad!!!
