When we wake up this morning and begin to face the day

We all have to make a choice as we awake and go our way

 

Some of us will choose to be happy and just glad to be alive

Others will take the path of self pity without even knowing why

 

Why do some people live their life dwelling on their daily woes

Feeling sorry for themselves before the floor touches their toes

 

We see them at the stores where we shop and in our work place

We all know who they are and can tell by the look on their face

 

We ask how they are doing but know what the answer will be

It is one of sadness and despair the same each day you see

 

Then you ask the simple question what could be so bad

Then they tell it’s just a bad day and to me that’s just so sad

 

There are people that choose to live their life in total misery

These folks have been in this world throughout our history

 

But to me I refuse to make the choice of not to cherish every day

I want to live each day to the fullest and enjoy life on the way

 

You see to me a bad day in life is something I refuse it to exist

But there have been a few along the way that I could have missed

 

So as we start out today on our journey that we all will take

Whether you have a bad day or great day is your decision to make

 

From My World to Yours,

Bob Baker
