Recast the Day

let's get up with a deep breath
while it's still morn
and cast our own bright sun
not let this gloomy day
dictate a sour mood

let's you and I
jump up with joy
and infuse our day
with fun and laugh
and wild adventure

until exhausted
we paint ourselves
a most magnificent
well earned sunset

Lucky you, somber day here today... But I agree, that's the attitude to have rain or shine. Line xx
