Here is a poem that I like to share in my motivational speeches by Douglas Metlock. It’s called, “Ain’t It Fine Today?”
“Ain’t It Fine Today?”
Sure this world is filled with trouble, I ain’t said it ain’t
Lord, I’ve had enough of double reason for complaint
Rains an storms have come to threaten me
Skies are often grey
Thorns and bristles have beset me on the road, but say,
Ain’t it fine today?
What’s the use of always weeping, making trouble last?
What’s the use of always keeping thinking of the past?
Each must have his tribulation, water with his wine
Life, it ain’t no celebration, troubles? I’ve had mine,
But today is fine
It’s today I’m living, not a month ago
Having, losing, taking giving as time wills it so.
Yesterday a cloud of sorrow fell across the way
It may rain again tomorrow; it may rain but say,
Ain’t it fine today?
