No More Unhappy People
by Catherine Pulsifer, © 2015 There are many people in life, That try and bring you down. These people are very selfish, And enjoy making you frown. And then there are others, Who don't even see what they do. They unintentionally do certain things, That have an affect on you. The problem with all these people, Is it's the same every time. You feel yourself getting madder, And forget they're not worth a dime. Why do we let them do this, Every time their around. We need to start remembering, That it's our choice to put on the frown. And more importantly there are others, Who are kind and sweet and smart. These are the people we should be around, It's time to make a new start. Let's stop letting certain people, Get the best of who we are. They don't deserve our feelings, Our tears or words by far. We don't need them in our lives, But if they have to be. I'll hold my head up high, And not let them get to me. We will focus on the good, And all the loving people. It's time we honor those, And life will be more peaceful! Look For The UPside Of Life by Julie Hebert, © 2015 Drops on my window, Grey skies way up high. The world looks so gloomy, Why even look outside. I sit in my house, Depressed with a frown. I hate feeling crappy, But the weather brings me down. Why do I feel crappy? Why do I wear a frown. Days like today, Bring so much to this town. If it weren't for the rain, We'd all live in a desert. With no trees, grass or flowers, Just dirt and prickly cactus. There would be no fields to run in, Or gardens to adore. No tree leaves to jump in, That fall to the floor. And for kids most of all, This tragedy they'd endure. What good are rain coats and rubber boots, If puddles are no more. If we look at it differently, And see not just bad. See the good in what rain brings, Maybe these days we'd be glad. And life is just like that, You only see what you decide. You have to open yourself up, And allow for both sides. The rain will stop sometime, And a rainbow will appear. The sun will come out too, And it'll all feel like cheer. You'll run in the green field, And smell a fresh flower. The trees will blow softly, All because of a shower. Awakening Poet: John McLeod © 1982 Awakening to the fresh dawn of the morning Not knowing what new paths this day will bring, But trusting in his gentle hands to guide you Just as he cares for every mortal thing, And stumbling forth find strength you lacked so badly Stream in to give a sense of fullness through, To me, (one fails to count, the kindest people: Samaritans whose names you never knew. With dusk the toil of day brings healthy tiredness, And climbing stairs one wonders all the more How many friends perhaps you'll meet tomorrow And what life's traveling onwards has in store. How often, then, to lie as sleep steals over And count the blessings that he brings to you, Through people who are happy just to serve him: Samaritans whose names you never knew! How Sweet To Hear Poet: John McLeod, © 1989 How sweet to hear in evening's hush A song-thrush caroling its joy, When sunset paints its carmine blush And day's dull straws no more employ The mind, and as one's rest draws near A few quiet moments linger yet To count rich memories so dear . . . The love of Life one can't forget! It Is Poet: John McLeod, © It's the little bit of sunshine Lighting up the dullest day, That brings a glow of pleasure As we journey on Life's way. It's the simple things that please us Like a willing kindness done, That son blow away each storm-cloud 'Till once more we see the sun. |
