Positive Thinking
Tree healthily growing on side of cliff with roots determinedly reaching far down to soil below.
All negative thoughts I've decided must go,
I'll try to say "Yes" when I want to say, "No."
I won't say, "I can't," but, "I can only try,"
And accept things that happen - not keep asking why.

I'll make time for hobbies and brighten my day,
And not let my problems affect what I say

There are folks who are homeless, sad, hungry, in pain,
whilst I'm blessed with so much - I'll not grumble again.

Today will be good for I'm filled now with hope,
With God's love inside me, I know I can cope,
No moanings, or groanings, no sighing, no dread,
My positive thoughts are all there instead.
