Why is it so hard to be an optimist,
In a pessimistic world?
I look at the glass and see it half full,
While most see it half empty.
The world is a wonderful place;
I see smiling faces and happy people.
The good in people is so obvious.
But why do most only look for the bad?
Yes there is bad in the world,
But why look for it in every place.
Look at the places where all is well
And life remains simple and happy.
This world where the blame culture seems to thrive,
There are no longer any accidents
Because if you can hold someone to blame,
It means that a claim can be made,
To get money that you do not deserve.
Accidents do happen, but few see them as that.
Stevie Smith says not waving but drowning,
I say not drowning but waving.
Live for the moment!
It will not come again.
