Some people make life a garden… and growth they seem to nurture,
Their presence warms, inspires, and waters the dry rows.. that’s truly a virtue.

They are so radiant, so funny, so kind, they are like a lamp in any room.
Everything they touch seems to light up, blossom and burst into bloom.
Their optimistic outlook brings a smile to your face,
They always see the good in friends and in the entire human race.
They seem to know that the more you laugh, the less you fret,
And the more you give, the more you get.

So why not do as they and arrange whatever pieces come your way.
Try to make every day of the week your very best day.
Life is ten percent what happens to you in this unpredictable world,
And ninety percent how you react to it when in your face life’s problems unfurl.

So have an attitude to succeed, no matter what you undertake,
And you too, can be the sunshine that makes life’s mishaps so easy to take.
