Looking around

I look around, what is it I see...
The world the way I want it to be.
Smiles, love, compassion, gratitude and more...
All of what I want and need.

But life has its ways to test us all,
To push us enough, to make us fall.
So what is it that one must do,
To constantly remember to not change our view?

Remind ourselves to stand again,
Put on a smile and get back in the game.
Along with joy, there will always be sorrow.
Just know that there will be a brighter tomorrow.

No matter what tomorrow holds,
Don't stop, just try and be bold.
That one little step today,
You know will take you a long long way!
