The Little Folks

Even on your darkest day You can still find reason to smile Old sol is shining somewhere The dark is only here for a while Sadness never sticks around It usually comes and goes Bright days are bound to follow So let the good times roll Always look on the bright side A much happier place to be Take a page from the little folks Always laughing always free No future in singing sad songs They usually just bring you down Go around with a great big grin Play the part of a clown Even on your darkest day Spread joy whenever you can Share it with everyone you meet A guaranteed fail proof plan!

Stay bright, beautiful and happy Jack! Keep spreading that sunshine. Some days indeed we must stare into tears. When mom died, my two cousins showed up from out of town. The first thing they did was give me a great big hug and before they left the biggest laughs. Oh how I love them.

Wow, Jack. Your optimism is delightful. Such wonderful advice for us old guys, because sometimes we do fall into gloom.

Love it... "we fall into gloom" so well said Mr. Hankins! And as we age, more gloom, naturally! Some of us more than others my good man! Cheers!
