Good Morning Poem by JAMES T. ADAIR

Dry your tears
Walk outside
Feel the air against your skin
Forget about the shape you're in

The sun still shines
the world is still turning
you're still loving
though your heart is hurting
and your eyes are still burning

Try to take in each pleasant image
It may not help
but then again, it might
There is beauty somewhere
somewhere in sight
you just have to look harder
to see it just right

If you meet a passerby
don't keep your eyes on the ground
Say hello or wish them a good day
they might just be feeling the same way
and you might lift their blues also away
Life doesn't hand us everything on a silver tray

Stay outside long enough to see
the other possibility
that not everything is so bad
Life still goes on, though your sad
try to find a smile..don't think it fake
sometimes our only love is what we give
and our happiness, what we make

And if you come home and it all falls apart
at least you tried...it was just a start
Don't give up your simple dreams
they may still find a home and become a part
of someone else's beautiful heart
Don't get so down. It's not yet too late
you just have to have a little faith in fate
and if your feeling it badly this day
Pray!
