Pick Yourself Up

Nat King Cole

We may all need some support in hard times. And with all the folly of war in the Middle East, rising energy prices, and the squeeze of the supply chains, hard times are possibly coming to many.

But hey! We will pick ourselves up and start again. The human enterprise is one of great spiritual power and we must never forget that we have been willed into creation by a much higher mind. Therefore:

Work like a soul inspired
‘Til the battle of the day is won
You may be sick and tired
But you’ll be a man, my son
Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again?
So take a deep breath
Pick yourself up
Dust yourself off
And start all over again
