The Choice is yours?

© R L Macdivitt 2012

Turn off the news, the TV doom and gloom

Look for the positive instead

Walk the dog and smell the flowers

Hum a favourite song inside your head

.

Make a cake, invite a friend

Drink tea and have a chat

Keep it light and cheerful

Bend down and stroke the cat

.

Lunchtime treat, snack in the sun

Read a book of love

Sit under a tree, enjoy a doze

Hear birdsong from above

.

Plan a trip to a special show

What to wear that day?

Take a stroll to a shop nearby

Eat chocolate on the way

.

Supper calls, great, food again

Enjoy a glass of wine

Settle to write to a friend of yours

Tell them that you’re fine

.

A positive day, a frivolous time

You set your goal and won

You’ve kept your spirits high and bright

And revelled in the fun

.

But still the neighbour beats his wife

And still the times are hard

You turned your back on everyday

And played your happy card

.

Which is right, face the truth?

Or pretend that all is well

But know your positive affects the world

Far more than you can tell
