The Future Will Continue To Shine

No matter the day, the world keeps turning So in our tiny place in the universe It remains our choice, our own little segment 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 I've lived many years and stored much knowledge Guess no more than the average joe But 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 appears 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 © Jack Ellison 2015

Dragon found a silver lining. Turned out to be from our neighbors' car. A silver bumper. Yep! When the snow melted the bumper was shiny! The neighbor looking for his bumper, found it mounted on Dragon's wall like a trophy! The neighbor was as bent out of shape as his bumper, which looked like a good luck horse shoe. I promised him Dragon would get his bumper fixed. A snow plough will fix the rest. Seems it ran over & flattened it! Shouldn't have left his car on the street. Silly Neighbor!

Lovely, life-affirming piece, Jack. The perfect antidote for those who think that the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. Mister Viv, with a #7
