When the day is done, and nothing has gone right,
Turn your thoughts back to a time of delight,
Recall how happy and wonderful some days can be,
Then focus your mind on a special day, that was amazing to see.
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
Don't be thinking you are over the hill,
Think of a time when success came your way,
By focusing on good moments, more will come to stay.
So switch your thoughts on, and turn on the light,
Thinking happy thoughts will make you feel bright,
Since happiness can bring you peace of mind,
By focusing on happiness, this is what you will find.
About the Creator
DAVID PRIOR
I write poetry, when the mood takes me. It may be something topical or on occasions I have a request. I take one day at a time, never take anything for granted, and believe that love and laughter make the world a better place.

Stuck in Place
Amy whistled as she walked through her front yard, looking for any sticks she could pick up and throw into the pile she and her brother were making. They had a big windstorm recently; as such, all the trees in their yard had suffered some damage in some loss of sticks. Or perhaps losing those sticks was a good thing since their trees probably needed to be pruned anyway. Amy wasn't sure.
