Wonderful To Hear



Wouldn't it be nice and wonderful to hear,
Someone admitting...
They have had it with complaining.
And no longer do they wish,
To whine about their aches and pains.
Knowing there is nothing to gain,
Sharing the same.
Heard from others.
With a decision to make,
To wake up each day...
Feeling positive and blessed,
Keeping to themselves...
A whining to moan about everything.
Done to do something new to choose.
By using their minds and to say,
I AM FEELING SO GOOD ABOUT MYSELF!
HOW ABOUT YOU?

'You talking to me?'

'Of course I'm talking to you.
I got up this morning.
And decided I would feel fantastic!'

'Lower your voice.
People are staring at the both of us.
If you don't mind slowly walk away.
I don't want anyone to think or believe,
I am as 'nuts' as you are!'

'I only want you to also believe,
If you choose to live...
Your life feeling as positive as you can,
It is possible...
Anything that comes along to upset you,
Will slowly fade away.'

'Is that right?
Wonderful to hear.'

'It sure does.
Try it!'

'I think I will.
In fact,
I'll do that right now.'

'Sounds good to me.
Terrific!
Remember,
Do it positively.'

'You...
Came along.
Right?'

'Right.'

And I was enjoying feeling cranky.
Upset.
Not wanting to be bothered.
Or pestered.
Today I woke up,
Feeling evil, moody and nasty.
This I do know, positively.
Now...
Prove to me,
By slowly fading your butt away.
Making this theory of yours,
Actually a work in progress.
And I promise you,
I will remain...
Not only positive about it,
For the rest of the day.
But also witness,
Just how effective your theory is.'

'I was only trying to...'

'Ssshhh...you're not fading.'
