Optimist Poem by Christina de Vries

You might not believe it
But it's absolutely true
Sometimes the smiling optimist
Has doubting thoughts too

At times the pessimists will
Shove the smilers down
Has them hiding away
With an uncomfortable frown

Would you believe it
If I told you they cry as well?
When the heavy weight
Press down on every nerve cell

Being a person of YES
In a world crowded by NO
Has a tendency
To make feelings overflow

But the optimist always
Find the hidden path back
Follows the sunshine
That leads to the right track

Sometimes it might
Take a little while
But they always bounce back
With the brightest and most honest smile
