Dwell On What Goes Well

Don't want to dwell On what doesn't go well Sometimes you see yourself move one step forward And soon, you find yourself take two steps backward Life moves that way when you dwell On what in your life doesn't go well. Clouds have gathered in the sky Ready to show their game of might Some will decide to stay home today Others will visit someone alone to bring a ray. Don't want to dwell on the rain For any day, someone needs you to come their way. Don't want to dwell on the heat When in other parts of the land, folks face fear Perhaps their crop has been destroyed by flood Others live in places that are under winter frost Don't want to dwell on the sun too hot When there are those who suffer great loss. Don't want to dwell on the thorns Of the rose, but the beauty of her crown It will then receive the proper care That will only enhance the beauty of her ware Dwell on the things that make you do well Dwell on what in your life goes well.
