On the Bright Side

by Debi Pick Marquette

She's having sad and gloomy days

Seems all she touches sours

And into space her eyes just gaze

As minutes turn to hours


But on the bright side, this will pass

They feel big as a mass

Don't underestimate a friend

Who'll be there 'till the end


When things were bad at work that week

His work duties would rob

His work ethics had been unique 

Now he may lose his job


 But on the bright side, things work out

Don't compromise with doubt

Your sorrows give to God in prayer

You weren't meant to be there

 
They called to say your child was hurt

Walking on school's crosswalks

Your life is on such high alert

And marriage on the rocks


 When things seem to be at their worst

                      You know God should come first                     

Priorities should be your guide

Then you'll find your bright side

I call this my Merry~go~Rhyme Poem because it has two different rhyme patterns to show the emotion of the stanza, as well as color and font.

And although the idea of, "on the bright side" is not original, I have always used it as my motto.
