“Avaunt!”
The pessimism that lurks!
Do not expect to see the worst.
Relinquish on the unfaithful thoughts.
As courage will come so you won’t be lost.
Do not be fooled or show skepticism.
I have found a virtue, it's called optimism.
It's the hope we seek for the darkest days.
So our doubting thoughts can be at bay.
It’s as bright as the sun and it gives us the light.
To give us the courage and to do what is right.”
