When life gives you roses,
Don't look for the thorns.
When your heart finds love,
Don't believe you'll end up torn.
When you see the finish line,
Don't think you're gonna get second place.
When the sun shines,
Don't think the clouds will come back anyway.
With a glass half full,
Don't see the empty top.
With food in your fridge,
Don't think it'll rot.
When you laugh,
Don't expect to soon cry.
When someone loves you,
Don't have to ask why.
When in peace,
Don't expect war.
When given a gift,
Don't believe you'll get no more.
When in joy,
Don't feel hollow.
When in happiness,
Don't feel sorrow.
Every day is hard on its own,
And optimism is what gets you to tomorrow.
