Making Your Own Sunshine Poem by Chris Embrick

Sometimes happiness means making your own sunshine
Don't be discouraged if the sky turns gray
Just take a breather and let life unwind
Keep enough smiles to chase the blues away
When your brain's in the clouds, let your heart be the guide

If foul weather's got you trapped all day inside
If you've struggled through the week and work's been a grind
Take tomorrow's worries one day at a time
Just for a day, act like a spoiled child
Just look in the mirror and crack a big smile
Nip all those frowns quickly in the bud
And leave all your complaining at the stop sign
This life's much too short for the mulligrubs
Sometimes happiness means making your own sunshine.
