When I’m Sad

When I’m sad, I feel so lost,

Confused, tired, and almost lost.

I hate to see myself unhappy,

But I take deep breaths and say, “It’s okay.”

My mother knows just what to do,

She takes me out for shopping too.

Snacks and ice cream bring a smile,

And make my sadness fade a while.

Behind each smile, a little pain,

Hidden sadness we can’t explain.

To feel better, I wake up early,

Exercise, smile, and think more surely.

I learn from mistakes, I try again,

Happiness returns, like sunshine after rain.
