Feelin' good today, <br /> 'cause I wanted it that way, <br /> I made my mind up long ago, <br /> not to let the world upset me! <br /> <br /> No matter what may come my way, <br /> on this early summers day, <br /> I won't bow down, <br /> I will not let worry get me. <br /> <br /> Today I heard my footsteps, walking pavement, <br /> I loved and held a puppy in my arms, <br /> I found a city near to here and stopped there, <br /> I drove on hilly roads, and past some farms. <br /> <br /> Life's been pretty good to me here lately, <br /> It's not place or time or month of May, <br /> It seems to me that this all started, <br /> when she came my way! <br /> <br /> Perhaps it all began, <br /> when I came to understand, <br /> that it is the way I've learned to see things, <br /> that makes me what I am, at any given time.<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/good-feelin/
