Analysis of POSITIVE OUTLOOK




By Richard Layton

Being positive has been very hard these last 2 years

being hopeful of the future has made many feel lost

the darkness is almost over, the light is peaking thru the window of
despair the faces of our family and friends have helped us hold on and move
on, the hearing of the voices of our loved ones has softened the blow. The
sounds of joy the sound of love the peace that we get when the sound of
birds singing the sun brightens our day the darkness of night gives us a
calming feeling we sleep we dream we hope for the next day. we now look
forward to the next day we are positive we smile as we wake, we hope we
love we are not afraid our eyes open we are positive again.
