Jack Ellison Poet Rhyme

The Little Folks

Even on your darkest day
You can still find reason to smile
Old sol is shining somewhere
The dark is only here for a while

Sadness never sticks around
It usually comes and goes
Bright days are bound to follow
So let the good times roll

Always look on the bright side
A much happier place to be
Take a page from the little folks
Always laughing always free

No future in singing sad songs
They usually just bring you down
Go around with a great big grin 
Play the part of a clown

Even on your darkest day
Spread joy whenever you can
Share it with everyone you meet
A guaranteed fail proof plan!

L Milton Hankins June 5, 2022 at 9:38 AM Wow, Jack. Your optimism is delightful. Such wonderful advice for us old guys, because sometimes we do fall into gloom. Jack Ellison June 5, 2022 at 10:21 AM Love it... "we fall into gloom" so well said Mr. Hankins! And as we age, more gloom, naturally! Some of us more than others my good man! Cheers!
