LIVING STRESSCARE

By Janai Lowenstein,M.S.

When the bills gather momentum

And the kids are on the run,

The phone is busy ringing

And the housework's never done....

 

Who you gonna call......Stressbusters!

 

The air is more polluted,

The food and water, too,

So to stop the vicious cycle,

What in the world we gonna do?

 

Money's not the answer,

Nor owning this or that.

There's got to be a solid way

To get us up to bat.

 

If apathy and ignorance

Tie up more energy,

We're going to be as lame

As a drunken little flea.

 

To gather all our Eagle-like strength

And work with one another

It means living calm, objective and wise

As caretakers of our Earthen Mother.

 

Even though we may seem small

This working class is very great.

And if we use our inner strength

Together our power can clean the slate.

 

It's time right now to open our hearts

To create a vision with significant care,

Using power tools of self-help and love,

To live in a world for all that's fair.

 

So even though the times seem tough

And it's easy to be scared

We're more than Chicken Littles

Who ran away instead of dared.

 

Taking time daily inside our hearts,

There's a special place of quiet peace,

And applying that to everyday life

Is giving love to a new world lease.

 

If positive thinking has any worth

To get us out of this challenging mess,

Let's use the thoughts to do good deeds

And share with our kids the very best.

 

We can begin teaching them right now

That stress is just a part of life.

And the greatest attitude of all

Is to care whenever there is strife.

 

We are the Stressbusters!!
