The Good and Bad

The good and bad in equal measure,
Fills life with pain as well as pleasure.

The ups are better than the downs:
Smiles feel better than those frowns.

But, life tosses both your way.
Best fling  the painful far away,
By focus on those happy times
Like playing and reading these rhymes.

Remember when  recalling brings,
Thoughts of mostly unhappy things.
Don't  dwell on them, but put your attention,
On joyful memories and I want to mention,
That knowing how unhappy feels,
Makes the good times have more appeal.
