Atmospheric Pressure

We all have our highs and lows That make us happy or sad We are like the weather I suppose Which is sometimes good and sometimes bad The lows bring rains to make the flowers grow The highs bring sunshine and summer's glow Our anger can whip up like a hurricane with the fury of its wind Your own blood pressure may rise again Much to your own chagrin So it pays to keep a sunny smile And let the weather have its highs and lows And you'll find that after a while Your happiness will flow -- 8/6/17

Yes of course--keep a sunny smile. This topic was more science than art, but you did well.
