The Happiest Boy In the Universe

I love today. What a beautiful day!
The Sun is up. The birds chirping away.
Today, I'll share my smile, I'll share my wave.
I'll share my laughter and how to be brave.

I clap my hands and sing and dance...
Even if I'm alone, I will dance with the plants.
Slowly Skipping along and singing a tune.
I'll say my goodbyes but shout, "See you soon!"

I'll love to find and help a friend.
I will sit with them and hold their hand.
I will hug them. I will kiss them.
Make them feel Better. Help them to stand.
Tell them, "It will be better!"
Because today, they have me as a friend.

I love today. What a beautiful day!
The raindrops are falling. The wind howling away.
Get my raincoat on and boots on my feet.
Rush outside carefully so I wont slip.

Jump around in puddles, splashing away!
Feel the droplets of water on my hands, pattering away.
I love to look up as the clouds float clear.
What a beautiful day to spend it right here!

I Love today. It's always a fresh start.
Everything is beautiful. Everything is art.
Do you love today? Tell me quick before it gets late.
Because, I may not be here tomorrow. I heard what the doctor said.

To the Children who never gave up.

Thank you Alexis for taking the time to read this. Yes is meant to be truly positive. However, this piece started out from me trying to understand what it feels to lose / losing your own child and it hurts too much that I want to make this poetry the way it is....Again, i am forever grateful...
