A Thought For the Day

If someone should hurt you…
And say a thing unkind.
Remember what I write to you…
And keep these thoughts in mind.
For everyone that makes you cry…
There are three to make you smile.
And a smile will last a long, long time…
But a tear just a little while.
Don’t let someone who hates…
Cause you to hate too.
Behind every cloud is a golden sun…
And a sky that’s full of blue.
If someone said a thing that’s cruel…
Don’t let it get to you.
Your achievements are greatly numbered…
And your faults are very few.
If someone is mean to you…
And should act a certain way.
Just think of those who love you…
And don’t let it ruin your day!
