The Optimistic
Only the optimistic make it by
With love and light
When it rains they revel the water
When it shines they smile
And the clouds are their friends
Not worrying about who they might meet
They’ll love you for what you do
See the good in you
I’m not one of them
But I lie in awe of them
Like stars that skirt the moon
I wish I was them
But a million light-years away
I stand in humble fascination
Pointing them out in rhymes
In different times
Drawing on their power
To hope and to keep faith
In this world and everyone
A power so strong
Enlightens these stars
And their hope is where my dreams start.
