LIFE IS GOOD

The brightest light I've ever seen
is the shine upon your face.
It is shown in the smile
you give with joy and grace.
Your happiness creates sparkling glows.
Enjoying your world, it surely shows.
So smile right now,
do not wait.
The gift you give 
is really great.


     What is one good thing that happened to you today?  Can you write a poem about that?  Did you learn something new?  Did you meet a new person?  What has blessed you today?  Have fun writing about your experience.

Sunshine

The sun is shining
sparkly bright
the doves have landed 
from their flight.

Won't you come 
and visit me.
In Tucson it is
bright and sunny.

    Can you write a poem today about the weather in your place of the world?  Have a happy day.

Rain makes the road shine black.
I listen to the pitt-a-pat.
Dripping from the tree leaves,
falling off the edge of eaves.

On this day, I could feel gray
but the shine on the road
takes the blues away.


     Do you know the adage about, "Look for the Silver Lining?"  there was a movie in the 50's with that title.  It means to look for good things  even in bad situations.  Your challenge for today is to write a poem about something good that came out of something bad or difficult.  I Hope you have a great day.
