Is There For This Morning/ Some Small Word

IS THERE THIS MORNING/ SOME SMALL WORD

Is there for this morning
Some small word
That will take me away
From discouragement and despair?
Which will make me feel hope again?

I don’t know-
I try now
The sunlight outside beckons
Perhaps once I am walking
The feeling will change-

Oh how hard it is day after day
Beginning in one’s own dark thoughts
And having to find the way, whatever way, out of them-
