Stay Afloat!

Teen, twenty or old age,
Be happy at every stage!

Even Kings and Nobles faced trouble,
Nobody's spared of that rubble,

The whole world won't crumble,
If a few things are lost and you stumble,

Brood...and it weighs you down double,
So laugh and burst that silly bubble!

A bit of Time may be lost as you fumble,
Some swift gallop can lift you up if you're nimble!

Life can all go into shambles,
If you keep lamenting like an off-note bugle!

So sip your coffee in peace!
Sit back! Sort your problems at ease!

Even if your entire fortune maroons
Learn to sprint and float like these balloons!

Always good cheer gives a positive touch!
Victory's yours if you can think and...stop worrying too much!
