He woke up in the morning
Put his feet on floor
And wished that he had gotten
Just four more hours of sleep

He woke up in the morning
And sighed with relief
That he was alive and healthy
And could breathe the air he breathes

He walked out the door
To see gray skies of rain
He cursed the rain
And wished he got sunny skies

He walked out the door
And looked and the trees and flowers
And marveled at his luck
That these plants had water to survive

He went to work
He saw his boss
Complained to his coworkers
And wished he had a better boss

He went to work
With a smile and said “good morning!”
To his fellow coworkers
And was thankful to be employed

He went out for lunch
Looked down at his plate
Got angry that his order was wrong
And wished that he had good the right order

He went out for lunch
Looked down at his plate
He ate his food
And thought how great it was to have food

Both men of the same daily routine
Affected many people
One negative and one positive
Be thankful or regret

It’s your choice?
