Gratitude speaks from joyful tearing eyes
when my darkend life, break's into sunlight.
Basking radiantly my heart comes up for air.
The monotone face I wear for the world
for a time smiles, giving all I touch hope.
Like a senryu I capture the moment
safely locked away in my heart.
It carries me through the clouds of life
until the sun breaks through again.

This is so optimistic and shows an attitude that Unhappiness is only temporary. The good memories override the bad aspects of life. Nice job and thank you for your entry.
