Even On the Darkest Day

Even on your darkest day You can still find reason to smile Old sol is shining somewhere The dark's only here for a while Sadness never sticks around It usually comes and goes Bright days are bound to follow So let the good times roll Always look on the bright side A much happier place to be Take a page from the little folks Always laughing always free No future in singing sad songs They usually just bring you down Go around with a great big grin Play the part of a clown Even on your darkest day Spread joy whenever you can Share it with everyone you meet A guaranteed fail proof plan! © Jack Ellison 2013

Inspiring words amigo. I found reason to laugh with the groundhog quatrain. You're truly a bright light here. I'm sure you keep.people smiling and impart. Once again great work in all respects.
