Orange Optimist

Everyone thinks they’re heaven bound
Who’d want a trip to hell underground 
We figure despite faults and sins
We will be forgiven and allowed in

We choose to be orange optimistic 
Despite red actions being pessimistic 
We really aren’t kind to our fellow man
But want God’s grace, in a bigger plan

I too am a product of human sin
Satin has a contest I don’t want to win
Turning away from sandy selfish ways
Striving to grow my soul strong in faith

Prayer and a dare to just be kind
Seems it is rare to give to find
