Sprinkle smiles where frowns should be <br />Yes, life is tough, but so are we - <br />Dwell too long in misery <br />And happiness can never be; <br /> <br />Attitude turns things around, <br />Negative can't hold its ground <br />When laughter makes a sweeter sound <br />A positive can then be found; <br /> <br />Why hide out 'neath skies of gray, <br />Who needs another rainy day? <br />Gather gladness while you may <br />Let the sunshine light your way; <br /> <br />Soon whatever made you mad <br />Doesn't seem to be so bad, <br />Nothing gained from being sad, <br />Count your blessings and be glad! <br /> <br /> <br />8/22/2009<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/on-the-lighter-side/
