Focus
(A Friends Challenge)
Focus on the good things
That happen every day
Don't just see the bad things
And think that it's okay
Talk about a life well lived
The compassion someone showed
A moment of forgiveness
That touched someone you know
There are people all around us
Who lend a helping hand
That will give the shirt off their back
To help their fellow man
So many who are out there
That answer to the call
Each day they do amazing things
Wanting no reward at all
So focus on the good things
That happen every day
See all the things around you
That make this world a better place

A friend's challenge to bring attention to the fact that all we hear about is the negative on the news each day. He said there are so many good things but you never hear of them. Wanted me to write a poem reminding people that there is still a lot of good out there and it is not all gloom and doom. Look around daily and focus on the possitive instead of just hearing and seeing all the negative.
