Life Is Looking Up At The Sun

Illness and death,
The failing of breath, 
Toil, labour and strife,
Make me appreciate life. 
Look not for gloom
In you dark, cold room
And don't shrug at your fate
For existence is a new, blank slate. 
Because all of youth's distractions,
All our misdeeds and our inactions,
Will define us in good time,
And give the inspiration for this very rhyme. 
Because everyday doesn't have to be bad,
And we never have to be sad,
Just look for the good and take a step back,
For not always is life lonely and black.
My eyes hold my soul,
And happiness is my personal goal,
They gleam in the light,
Because I know the future is bright. 
Most important is belief,
That the coming times will bring relief,
And just as the sun will rise and set,
You'll be cheerful once more, 
And that's my best bet
