It’s a Good Day to Smile

Accidental Poet



It’s a Good Day to Smile

 

Today I woke up

Thankful to be alive

Got my wits in my pocket

And it’s only quarter to five

 

Let the day unfold

Bring what it may

Whatever happens

It was meant for today

 

I’ll make the best of it

No matter the outcome

No sense cryin’ over spilt milk

What’s done is done

 

Down the road of life I go

 A precious gift every mile

God gave me this life

So it’s a good day to smile

    I like it AP, today we both posted smiling uplifting poems! I guess great minds think alike!
    I do like the lines: Down the road of life I go, a precious gift every mile. That is so beautiful.

    Thanks Fred, smiling is a contagious act. See how many smiles you see today. And it's ok if you provoke them along the way. ; )

  • Michael Edwards

    A smile breaks down the most stoney of receptions - grumpy receptionists, shop assistants etc - the greatest weapon in the armoury - great AP

      It's sign language that everyone understands Michael. Thanks for the read.

              A fine write AP. We may fuss about yesterday, or tomorrow, or both. But one has gone, and one is not here yet. There's today to sort out for now!

                Long as you do it with a smile orchi, and I know you throw in a few laughs too. Thanks for reading.

                  Ah - -lovely read with a super title - - that first stanza would win a prize A.P. - "Today I woke up Thankful to be alive Got my wits in my pocket
                  And it’s only quarter to five"
                  - - I will remember those thoughts for a long time my friend.
