Depressed? Then Take One Step at a Time

I love this poem that I was give a few years ago by Bruce Wilmer, which I keep for the days that in my grief depression takes over
It’s true that sometimes life is full
Of trying circumstances.
And sometimes we must struggle
For just minimal advances.
Despite events that slow us down
And magnify our worries.
We must learn that progress is
A word that seldom hurries.
To try to grasp the total picture
Is a strong temptation.
Often we attempt too much
And add to our frustration.
Loving out before us
All the things that must be done
May be harder than to focus
On a single one.
Don’t approach so many tasks
That all your hopes are gone.
A single step will lead you to
Another later on
