I Chose To Be Brave

by Jenni Marie   Dec 16, 2006


The other day
I was feeling down
Wallowing in self pity
So I chose to turn my mood around.

Instead of looking
At everything bad
I chose to smile
And to be glad.

Be glad I have my health
And be glad I have my friends
Be glad I have my family
And that my life is yet to end.

I chose not to worry
About things that will work out
I chose to smile and laugh
Instead of scream and shout.

I chose not to get angry or sad
Which I haven't done in a while
I chose to be brave
And look at life with a smile.
