The Good life

Upon these avenues
of life
sometimes you have
trouble and strife
and you may find yourself
worrying so much
you know not what to do,
but then comes
a time in
your life
when there's an
absence of strife,
worrying is erased
as goodness and mercy
place a smile
upon your face
and the sun shines bright
as you enjoy
the happiness
of the good life.

Yes indeed, and that time of life has made its way to me, and I am grateful.

Very uplifting and optimistic. I think the secret is to enjoy the sunshine, it might rain tomorrow.
