We seem to demand more of life,
Than life itself can give to us,
Life is happiness and then strife,
We laugh out loud and then we cuss,
Life is what it is, we are too,
It's up to us to not be blue.

How true, Jerry! And it is still good to aim high, after all our broken wings always heal.

Great message well expressed!

It is up to us not to be blue
oh so hard to do
when a death
leaves us bereft
Or our loved one cries
bringing tears to our eyes
It is oh so hard not to be blue
when the ones we care about do
