Today I'M Gonna Be... Poem by David Whalen

Today….

I’m not gonna think
any negative thoughts

I’m not gonna get
Down in the dumps

I’m not gonna be
the least bit sad

I’m not gonna just sit back
And take my lumps

I’m gonna see
the bright side of everything

I’m gonna smile
at everyone I meet

I’m gonna listen close
And hear the birds sing

I’m gonna smell the roses
I’m gonna feel my heartbeat

Today I’m just gonna be my own man
Today I got nothing’ to lose

Today I wantta be…Today I’m gonna be!
Just what I darned well choose!

And I’m gonna be happy!
