Beauty of Life


I'm the one who sees silver lining.

I'm the one who won't be caught whining.

What good is there for complaining?

With that, you won't be gaining.

The one who works hard is content,

The one who's lazy is not.

They will not make a cent.

The jovial folks are the ones who fought,

To gain what they have ought.

As for me, there's always a reason,

For happiness, there's never a dry season.

One needs to be upbeat

One must not accept defeat.

I need not be materialistic,

In order to be optimistic.
