The Positive Things

You know, it seems like most of us At the end of a busy day Seem to be too tired to think about The positive things along the way We complain when things don’t go Just the way we think they should We can’t seem to put them aside Even though many times we could We fret about such little things That may or may not go away We let them fester deep inside us Until they settle in to stay Instead perhaps we ought to stop And take stock of the positive things Things that happen every day That pulls gently at our heart strings A little child you saw that day That touched his mommy’s face She gathered him closely to her And he smiled at her embrace Maybe you saw an act of kindness Or perhaps it was you that day That talked to someone that was hurting And you eased them along their way A couple with their newborn infant As they smile at the baby with pride Beaming from so much happiness You can feel their warmth inside I think our lives would be better If we listen to what God’s message brings Take time to smile at those around us And concentrate on positive things!
