Today was a good day.

Despite the cancer that threatens my cousin's life today,
That  boy  held  the  door  for  me.
Despite the death of my Aunt's mother,
They  actually  sat  with  and  talked  to  me.
Despite the blocked arteries of my other Aunt,
My  friend  from  home  visited  me.
Despite the perpetual heart problems of my Grandfather,
They  made  me  laugh  through  my  tears.

Despite all of the **** that's going on,
I embrace the things that go my way.
Despite how everything seems to go wrong:
Today was a good day.
