EVERYDAY'S A GREAT DAY

"Good morning, how are you?" "Fine, thank you.
And how are you this morning? "I'm fine too."
These questions and answers are social courtesy,
Not what's really in our hearts, just a pleasantry.

Nothing more than mutual exchange of greetings everyday,
It's what has become expected for each of us to say.
But since we're going to say it to people that we meet,
Why not start to believe it and make life sweet?

I hear of people getting up on the wrong side of the bed,
This appears impossible, it may just be in their head
Because my bed has four sides and all of them are right,
It simply serves to carry me through a peaceful night.

When I get up in the morning put my feet on the floor,
I anxiously await the opportunities outside the door.
I quickly scan the area, seek out the first person I see,
Walk up, look 'um in the eye for the reflection of me.

I greet each with a warm smile coming from my heart,
What a fantastic way for each new day to start.
For we are one big family, all sisters and brothers,
And everyday's a great day, some just different from others.
