Not every day is awful.<br />Not every day is good.<br />Despite the way the hours pass<br />I’m living like I should.<br /><br />Not every day is all wrong.<br />Not every day is right.<br />At least I’m not a spider <br />trying to scamper out of sight.<br /><br />Not every day is ideal.<br />Not every day is bad.<br />At any rate I have my senses<br />even if they’re mad.<br /><br />Not every day is happy.<br />Not every day is glum.<br />When sadness drags me in the dumps<br />A simple tune I hum.<br /><br />Not every day I smile.<br />Not every day I frown.<br />With effort, I can take a scowl<br />and turn it upside down.<br /><br />Not every day is crazy.<br />Not every day is sane.<br />If consequence nips at my heels<br />I don’t pass on the blame.<br /><br />Not every day is giddy.<br />Not every day is blah.<br />Yet I can still appreciate<br />a giggle and guffaw.<br /><br />Not every day is timid.<br />Not every day is proud.<br />I may not be a dragon<br />but I roar about as loud.<br /><br />Not every day has rainbows.<br />Not every day has rain.<br />Despite the fact I’m stiff and sore,<br />I’m not in chronic pain.<br /><br />On every day the sun shines,<br />so every night I pray<br />that I might see the morning light<br />and live another day.
