Turn it around

Why is it we remember the words that are spoken,

That which is negative; promises broken?

For every sweet memory, there are ten bad,

It's easier to hold on to the troubles we've had.

Think of a person that you don't really like;

Name three things bad, name three things nice:

It's harder by far to come up with the good,

I wish we could turn it around- we should!

I will make my best effort- each day,

To see the truth, but in a more positive way.
