The Eternal Optimist

The world needs a little good news everyday
Just look on the bright side it's better that way
Kick up your heels and say howdy my friends
Just smile at a stranger your woes you'll transcend

On the verge of disaster show them there's hope
To look at this world through a much larger scope
It may be contagious you'll start a new trend
Who knows it might happen you'll make a new friend

I know that the cynics will laugh and they'll scoff
To think that us humans past sins we can doff
We've got to start somewhere so why not right now
The world will stop fighting and wars disavow

Just call me a dreamer I welcome that name
Don't need any medals no fortune or fame
The best compensation a world filled with joy
Where everyone's happy and spirits are buoyed

We can't let our efforts just end up in vain
We must see a world where happiness reigns
It's crucial for us to succeed in this quest
Else mankind will perish my case I do rest
