No Time to Look Down

  • I have never met a sunny day that made me feel sad.
    It's hard to feel sorry when there's sunshine to be had.
    A rainy day is bothersome but still it has its place.
    It feeds the lovely flowers that bring smiles to our face.

    Sometimes when walking down a street that teems with fear and gloom,
    Where shadows lurk, despair resides in each and every room.
    There, people live without a hope of better things to be.
    I know for sure that this is not the neighborhood for me.

    I want to walk on sunny streets, where light and hope abide.
    Where People smile and say hello, where hearts are filled with pride.
    On such a street the sky is blue and filled with sunny cheer.
    The sounds of laughter everywhere are the only sounds you hear.

    I've traveled streets of sadness, streets that have no smiles.
    On streets like this, a single block can seem like many miles.
    On streets of joy and happiness, my feet they seem to fly.
    There's nothing I've found better than a bright blue sunny sky.~Jay Olson
