Rise Above It


The world exists in constant flux,
a yin and yang affair;
at times, the sun shines warm and bright
and sometimes rain brings dark.
And like the weather comes and goes
in forms, some good some bad,
just like a yin and yang,
some people in our lives become
a plus or minus in our heart
with constant flux begun.

And we must rise above the bad
for sure, we will know that
our sun will show its face again
within a new-born dawn.
And as the rain may challenge us
to stay indoors, change plans
with book or task at hand,
we rise above it, fill our hours
with happy things that cheer us on;
always, our glass half-full.

Some turn from us, we know not why
which makes us wonder, guess...
But negativity removes
what positive spreads out.
So keep it wrapped 'round like a shawl
and dance in happiness...
and we can make it right.
Ignore those things that pull us down;
lift up our arms, and hum a tune.
Just smile, and rise above.
