Optimism

Late last week, one of the women in my sister's ward passed away.  Marianne, Sara and Dallin went to the funeral, yesterday.  This morning as I was eating breakfast, I found the program with a sweet poem written by the woman who passed.  I was so impressed that I wanted to share it.  It is called Optimism.

Optimism

by Ruth Harmon

 

Make optimism your own thing.

Sunny of cloudy, you still can sing.

You lose some races; some you win.

Showers or flowers can bring a grin.

Losing a coat may make you colder.

Losing your teeth means you're growing older.

Losing a dollar is not all bad.

When someone finds it, their really glad.

 

Some call a glass half empty.

While some would say half full.

It's the way you look at things

That makes days bright or dull.

Always look on the happy side.

Change a frown into a smile.

Life won't seem quite so hard

Whenever you face a trial.
