Let the Sun Shine In



Open your eyes; look around.
What do you see?
I see a bright, happy day that is just about to begin.
Don't look at the gloomy side,
leave the rain aside.
Step into the sunshine,
I am sure you will feel glad.
Look at the positives in your life.
I am sure there must be one.
What about being alive?
You should be glad of that.
It makes you want to be in a pool of bright colours
and ready to make a tremendous dive.
Orange and yellow are positive colours;
bring those colours into your life.
Leave the blue, grey and brown,
for those colours will make you depressed.
Your life is surrounded by the colour wheel,
but let the arrow stop at the positive colours.
Let the sun shine in your life!
If you're living in a cold world,
all you would see is darkness.
There wouldn't be any excitement,
only icy, cold tears running down people's faces
or the expression of anger.
Why would you want to live in darkness?
Now is the time to change,
if you're living in that kind of world.
Have I got my point across?
What did you choose?
Did you choose to stay in that cold, icy world
that is surrounded by darkness?
Or did you choose to be in a warm, sunny world
which is full of happiness?
I hope you chose to live in the world of happiness.
