Life's Too Short

Don't let others get you down
Or cause your face to wear a frown
Be your best for you alone
And don't waste time to gripe and groan
Life's too short to hold a grudge
Or tattletale and play the judge
So wear a smile, be fair and kind
And keep good thoughts within your mind


SIDE NOTE: 
Not always easy to do, especially with what life throws at us. 
But we have to work at it daily for the sake of our health and well being
