Naysayers did inform us of forthcoming doom
The flowers did not listen they continued to bloom
Nature bounded towards spring even as humans looked for gloom
Today is another day and there is always room

Prophecies did predict how the planet will perish
The elements refused to heed they continued to nourish
The old man the little child they had memories to cherish
Today is another day and will arrive with flourish
And optimism
The rich and the famous did endorse their entitlement
The mild and the modest continued towards attainment
To balance a divide with negatives will boost resentment
To hold on to buoyancy and cheer will enhance contentment
A faith
Setbacks did push back agenda upsetting many a plan
The ones who had complete trust did not let the ban
Dampen confidence or diminish conviction they knew they can
Conquer setbacks and do so with style and élan
With spunk

For our lives our well-being and all that we hold dear
When all we need is some common sense and some prayer
So chill
