What can you gain <br />for being a bittered man <br />held together <br />by a failing plan <br />What plus does a sour face <br />have over a joyful grin <br />that will go and erase <br />your sorrowed sin <br />Step from your regret <br />and see the sun that shines <br />blessing God's earth <br />and the lives of yours and mine <br />See the world <br />for what it could be <br />and bounce around <br />in joyful glee <br />Find the answer <br />to your prolonged problem <br />as your upturned lips <br />try to solve them <br />If you see a wrong <br />and it does not belong <br />erase the lyrics <br />and begin your own song <br />Negativity may continue to reign <br />in certain places <br />but it does not now matter <br />for you walk on God's graces <br />For living a life <br />with a smile leading the way <br />you may be the answer <br />to someone who prays<br /><br />Trevor Schulte<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/simplistic-optimism/
