Make Your Day Bright
By Thinking Right
Don’t start your day by supposing
that trouble is just ahead,
It’s better to stop supposing
and start with a prayer instead,
And make it a prayer of thanksgiving
for the wonderful things God has wrought,
Like the beautiful sunrise and sunset–
God’s gifts that are free and not bought…
For supposing the worst things will happen
only helps to make them come true
And you darken the bright, happy moments
that the dear Lord has given to you…
So if you desire to be happy
and get rid of the misery of dread,
Just give up supposing the worst things
and look for the best things instead.
–Helen Steiner Rice
I have been told don’t think of the worse think about best. I had never read it. I did not know about this poem prayer. I love it thank you. I will carry this booklet in my purse and read it often to keep thinking of the best.
