Optimism

This poem was inspired by this cool kid who works at my local Mcdonals. Thank A. !


Optimism

I look up in the sky, it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day.

 

Living each day one second at a time, one minute at a time……

 

Just livin’ life with a smile.

You see me smiling?

Look at me I’m smiling.

It’s not a strain at all.

Just waking up in the morning

Is a victory; a miracle really.

 

….one hour at a time, one eight hour block at a time…..

 

They ask how I can do that day after day, smile that is.

“What’s so great about being sad all the time?” I ask back.

Just livin’ life with a smile.

You see me smiling?

Look at me I’m smiling!

It’s not a strain at all!

Just waking up in the morning

Is a victory; a miracle really.

 

….One day at a time.

I look up in the sky, it looks like it’s going to be a beautiful day.

 

Living each day one second at a time, one minute at a time, one hour at a time, one eight hour block at a time…….

Just  livin.

“What’s so great about being sad all the time?” I ask back.

You see me smiling.

Look at me…….

….I’m smiling…..

It’s not a strain at all!

 

 

Just waking up in the morning is a victory; a miracle really.

Miracle.

Optimism.
