Attitude Adjustments


Learn to live with adjustments,
Or quietly demise in discouragements.

Learn to accept some things and move on,
Or complain continually and die alone.

Learn, live, and love in hope of eternal life.
Reject a life filled with debate and strife.

There was one who mused of living too long.
He was sad because his money was gone.

The value of life is not predicated by money,
Nor whether the skies are cloudy or sunny.

At the end of the day, when you've had your say,
Will the world around you be sunny or grey?
