It's so easy...


  It's so very easy to gripe and complain
                                To dwell on your sorrows or maybe your pain
                                To start every day with a feeling so blue
                                Wondering why life is unfair to you

                                It's also so easy to feel all alone
                                To think no one else knows the
                                heartache you've known

                                It's easy to look in the mirror and see
                                A person whose luck is as bad as can be
                                But looking at things in a whole other light
                                Can make all your problems seem ever so light
                                
                                If you start every day with a really big smile
                                If you do what you need to with grace and with
                                style
                                If you think how much worse that your life could
                                have been
                                If you take just one frown and turn it into a
                                grin
                                If you see someone else whose much worse off
                                than you
                                Yet they seem to be happy, that should give you
                                a clue

                                How easy it is to forget what we've got
                                To dwell almost always on what we have not
                                But practicing how to be thankful for things
                                Makes it easy to face life and all that it brings

                                I'm not saying it's easy to hold up your chin
                                To not feel discouraged and throw the towel in
                                But counting your blessings instead of your woes
                                Brings new comfort and hope to your life, Heaven
                                knows

                                Find something good about every new day
                                Find something positive that you can say
                                No matter how trivial, little or small
                                Even if you think it's not much at all

                                A small thing today and another tomorrow
                                Will add up and grow till it lightens your sorrow
                                Each day becomes easier and then you'll see
                                A smile in the place where a frown used to be
