I am happy today
Feeling optimistic
I am glass half full
No longer pessimistic
***
I saw a red flower
Sprouted in a barren tree
Spring is finally here
Here in Tennessee
***
The sun is going to shine
Create a burst of light
I feel a warmth of starburst
Even at night
***
Flowers may bloom
Seasons may change
But the hope of a better day
Will always stay the same
***
Just as long as there blossoms
The dark will be bright
Be happy today
Smile with delight

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
