The Power of the Positive

The joy that other people possess Is well within your reach We're all made up of similar stuff I'm sure you've heard this speech Well my friends, in my experience It's a true and a provable fact The more you look on the bright side The more positive, people react They observe your sunny outlook Wish they could feel that way too It doesn't take much effort Positive thinking rubs off on you Picture all that's right with the world Of the things that you possess Don't concentrate on the negatives That will only cause you stress Happiness is quite an infectious thing Belt out one of those good time songs Sooner or later believe me, folks People will start singing along It's the power of positive thinking Happy always wins in the end It's a human thing, we're born to laugh So chuckle yourself silly, my friend

You remind me of a saying "The happiness that you experience up in a mountain, is the happiness that you bring". Congrats Jack, for having your inspirational peace featured in the Poetry Soup homepage!!! ;-)
