Reading stories and poems can help us focus on optimism, even if we are feeling down. Staying optimistic for us is key on gray days and through windy weather. Similarly, if we are in a long spat of negative behavior, it is helpful to see the world through other’s perspectives. Sometimes, you just have to find the love in writing. In this poem, we explore the bad days and viewing poems through optimism is beneficial.
The Sun as I’ve Seen It
That even on bad days the wind seems temperate,
tells me a lot about how I view the world.
Even as the wind blows with sporadic rain,
I can smile at it as though it were passing pain.
Rays of light pierce through the gray clouds,
a peep of heaven every once in a while today.
I suppose it’s looking at the world well,
and reminding myself that clouds pass,
and the sun shines.
