A Warm Cozy Sweater

The sun is shining, not a cloud up above How could life be any better Good health and the love of a very sweet lady Life is like a warm cozy sweater Rainy days can't even bring down my spirits I'm meant to live life on a high I see nothing but positive signs every day Of love and bright sunny skies This can't be true, I've heard people say One can't be upbeat every day Once in a while, there gotta be sad things You encounter along the way Of course they're right, but the difference is I don't let them get me down They are all a part of this thing we call living It's my choice to smile not frown The sun is shining, not a cloud up above How could life be any better Good health and the love of a very sweet lady Life is like a warm cozy sweater @Jack Ellison 2012
