How wonderful the day is
the joy of life and living
is beyond description;
problems will always come and go,
but innate to man
is coping and reaching out
within each of us
is life’s own prescription.

I’ve often wondered about unhappiness;
for each, there is a different reason;
suffering to me maybe a joy to others,
especially when life for them
is but a short season.

When down
and hopelessly in a state
of mild dejection,
I'm reminded of true pain,
short seasons
and life’s prescription

How wonderful the day is
the joy of life and living
is beyond description.
