A Happy Outpouring of Love

I look outside and what do I see? The sun shining brightly above Puffy white clouds softly drifting by In a happy outpouring of love The world is such a wonderful place Depending on your outlook I say The choice is yours to be happy or sad So throw all those troubles away Cast aside all your negative thoughts Wake up each day with a grin It's great to just be alive and kicking To waste it would be such a sin None of us will be around forever Do the best with what you've been dealt All you can do is go along with the flow Your happiness will surely be felt I look outside and what do I see? A bright shiny world out there Share the happiness within your soul Tell folks how much you care! © Jack Ellison 2013

Oh, it's too funny. I was saying something about the sun on your other poem for today and here you said about the sun. Big old sun. Got to love him. Always shining. Always smiling, isn't he? Lol. Great job, Jack!

You do bring me a smile each and every day that I read your poetry my friend! This is no exception, this poem brought me yet another smile to my face! I loved reading this amazing piece, quite a delightful write! I enjoy reading about happiness and the joys of life, how we need to make the best of each and every day, the secret of life...and you have expressed it so nicely! Great Work!!
