Look For The Good
Janice Hudspeth, May 2000
Isn't it interesting to note
That what we are looking for
Is usually what we find,
And very little more?
It is all too easy to find the faults
In everyday situations,
And then they seem to magnify
In our imaginations.
Can we not look for good instead
And focus on the best?
It certainly makes for a better day
And gives our minds a rest.
When we live with aggravations
And let them rule each thought,
It is then we lose perspective
And progress comes to naught.
So what if brother so-and-so
Or sister tell-it-all
Intrudes our day with useless junk
And dumps on us their gall?
It may sound too simplistic
To always look for good.
Yet what is there for us to lose,
Besides our own bad mood?
