You May As Well Look On The Bright Side Poem by Francis Duggan

You may as well look on the bright side for you there may be better days ahead
The future it surely does matter and the past save for the memories is dead
Go out and buy a lotto ticket you may be a winner tonight
Tomorrow you may be quite happy and smiling the broad smile of delight
Few wish to know of one who is unhappy looking sad faced and feeling down
They are never the life of any party the unhappy people of the town
Laugh and the World laughs with you as a truism remain
Why few wish to know of the unhappy one does not need for to explain
They are indeed positive people though in financial strife
Who in public can keep smiling and look on the bright side of life
They carry on with life of their tough lives they never complain
Life it may well have knocked them down but they rise and fight on again
You may as well look on the bright side of you there may be better days ahead
The future it surely does matter and the past save for the memories is dead.
