Life Is
Life is what you make it,
Or so the saying goes.
Does it, however, matter
What the enemy throws?
Surely one should be on guard
And great attention pay.
Many things are coming
Down the pike each day.
How one will respond
To an unforeseen event
Is totally dependent
Upon his mental bent.
If he is determined
To see good in everything,
Then he will be satisfied
In whatever life does bring.
If, however, he’s negative,
And sees in all a curse,
Then he’ll be singing
A totally opposite verse.
So what then is the point?
It’s really plain to see.
Look always on the positive
And then contented be.
