A Positive Attitude

Happiness comes in many forms Remember the thrill of your first born How could you have known at the time The challenge of keeping things in line Sometimes seemed too much to bare Many obstacles, more than your share Finally you make it all the way through Hard to replace that joy you knew Now life's taken on a whole new look Your zest for living's like an open book A positive attitude goes a long long way To help get you through the darkest days Don't let gremlins get under your skin Tell them. “Get lost, where to begin!” Life seems like the Himalayas at times Stop and think, is it worth the climb? You can bet your sweet bippy it is, my friend There's nothing more rewarding in the end Than a life all filled with laughter and joy Just like a birthday and a brand new toy Happiness comes in many forms Remember to make “happy” the norm Life is over and done way to soon Live it to the fullest sing only happy tunes!

Enjoyed reading your work today. Some days being positive is easy and some days not so much, but positivity goes a long way. Sara
