The Poetry of Clay Harrison

"The Only Way is Up!"

There are reasons to be weary
when things don't go our way.
When days are dark and dreary
and we hurt too much to pray.
There are times of deep depression
that fall upon us all.
When an act of desperation
can make the strongest fall.
That's the time we should be praying
for guidance from above.
For too long we have been straying
from those we truly love.
It's a time for new beginnings;
a time to make amends;
When we set our minds to winning
some new and valued friends.
It's a time to count our blessings,
though humble they may be,
As we come to God confessing,
what He means to you and me.
Then our troubles shall diminish
as the Master fills our cup,
For once we've hit the bottom . . .
the only way is up!
