The Dangers Of A Pleasant Life

                                              Clouds over Colorado , August 2012

What if you wake up
                    Feeling less than graceful?

What if you meet up
                   With someone you're trying to avoid?

What if you look up
                   And see clouds obscuring the sun?

What if you show up
                   To find the concert has been canceled

Will you still find a silver lining
                   In those dark grey clouds
Will you still think of something charming
                  To say to that unbearable bore

Count to fifty thousand
                 Before harsh words escape your lips
Climb every towering mountain
                 Before your angry tongue slips

No matter how slighted you may feel
                About the obstacles always in the way
                The truth is in your head
                You're still entitled to being free today
