Focus on the positive. Speak a word that's bright.
Don't bog down in negatives which put nice thoughts to flight.
Always there is something good on which our thoughts could center
And paths of creativity on which our thoughts could enter.
Goodness brings perspective in the way we spend our day...
Happy in the good things, or grumpy and blase'.
The "weight" of daily problems we just do not need to bear.
We can lay our burdens down before the Lord in prayer.
Weed out all those "gloomy" thoughts and counter them with joy.
This will brighten up your day and cheerfulness employ.
Being filled with blessed thoughts becomes a simple choice,
Causing you to have a smile and deep within rejoice.
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
Philippians 4:8 KJV
