Turn that Frown Upside Down

Location

Wake up early.

Can't fall back asleep.

At least you're alive.

Get in your car.

Get stuck in traffic.

At least you have your own transportation.

Have a terrible day at work.

Last in line to pick up your pay check.

At least you have a job to pay your bills.

Arrive home.

Locked out of your house.

At least you have a place to call home.

We do it every day.

We're only human right?

We allow ourselves

to be overcome.

Forget how much we have.

It's a personal choice,

really.

How we take on the world. 

But if I could change one thing.

Just one.

As simple as it may be.

I'd change the attitudes

of every living individual.

So that a more postive light

may come upon everyone's lives.

So that the world can be at best

just a little more bearable.

So that when the neighbor's dog

wakes you up at 2 AM,

you're thankful because at least you can hear,

and you're thankful because at least you're breathing.

If I could change one thing

I'd make everyone's attitude positive.

For positive attitude

provokes positive thought,

and positive thought

provokes positive action,

and positive action

makes for a positive world.
