How am I so optimistic, as the world is falling down?
Why do I keep thinking, It'll come around?
I guess I just can't be broken down, there'll always be a smile on my face,
and I'll stand strong, struggling along, no matter the time and place.

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
