I don't care
if the sun don't shine...
'cause I know everything's going to be just fine.
Rain, sleet or snow
I know it will sometime have to go.
As anyone can see
everything in this life is temporary.
Nothing lasts forever.
So...
as long as we are here...
let us spread a little good cheer
to anyone and everyone who may be near.
The change will do us good
as we cast a ray of sunshine in the hood.
'twill make our day a little brighter...
our cares a little lighter.
May a smile be our umbrella.

I agree with you, Charlie. In fact I had a lesson today on doing exactly what you suggest everybody do. "cast a ray of sunshine."
