Positivity

I feel that it's time for something positive

But do many positive moments feel bitter sweet?

Perhaps it's time to acknowledge

The gratefulness and joy we tend to leave in the back seat

For instance, the beauty of the sky

And the shapes the clouds take

Some say the clouds cry

I say; large lakes they create

There is also such beauty in children

When they're born, they scream and tears fall from their eyes

But with each day they grow and learn

Showing us that there's beauty in the simple things in life

Like a blade of grass that can be used as a toy

Placing it between your thumbs

You remember what it's like to feel such joy

From a simple whistle, with the air that has filled your lungs

Though, as we grow older it is not as easy to stay positive

We tend to pity ourselves

Forgetting that we have only one life to live

Displaying our sorrow on countless metaphorical shelves

Some suffer of illness

My mother conquered a brain tumor

She never showed weakness

In that case, she defeated it with honor and good humor

Perhaps we should follow her example

Feeding the Universe with positive energy

So that it may come back to us in ways that are ample

Creating opportunity and infinite synergy
