Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

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!
