The Bright Shiny Future
No matter the day, the world keeps turning
So in our tiny place in the universe
It remains our choice, our own little settlement
No matter the obstacles we transverse
The paradise we feel is in part our own making
Happiness and contentment will come
Beginning each day with a positive outlook
There is nothing we can't overcome
Lived many years and stored much knowledge
Guess no more than the average joe
We do tend to pick up some useful information
A bunch more the further we go
So I offer my experience to you younger folks
As hard as it sometimes may appear
A silver lining is just beyond the horizon
Trust me, you have nothing to fear
For no matter your day, tomorrow will appear
With it's promise of happier times
With a right frame of mind anything's possible
The future will continue to shine
