Every cloud has a silver lining,
It might not be easy to see,
But every time one comes my way,
I find how it will help me.1
Every storm has a rainbow,
Seen by someone in some land.
Even though I cannot see it,
I still think rainbows are grand.2
Every bad thing has a good side,
All the tears from girls and boys
Might be shed from sadness,
But they might be shed from joy.3
A glass can be half full or half empty,
Depending on your view,
I think of things on the bright side,
And I hope that you will too.4
Every time a person laughs,
Someone somewhere else cries.
Every time a person cheers,
Another person sighs.5
Would you rather live a life
full of dread and tears and sorrow?
Or would you rather live a life
Looking at the bright side of tomorrow?

Loved it! Like other poems I've read, it speaks to me in a way that no person can. Great job!
-
I like this poem! It's very delicately, and almost simplistically written. I think this was a thought-provoken piece, with excellent wording and some very nicely penned lines. Overall - it's a sweet efforts, especially for your age!
Excellent work!
S2: it has a beautiful message in it, a very melancholy feeling - to e able to appreciate something without ever having experienced it
S3 L2: the 'girls and boys' part seems forced and almost lazy - I'm sure you can do better
Other than that, the ending is beautiful and optimistic! Great job on this and good luck!
-
The last is definitely teh strongest stanza, as any poem should be (that i've gathered) I would rather look at the bright side of any tomorrow. Thanks for the read!
-
very sweet full of positive happy thoughts.
I liked it, your rhyme and meter are wonderful too. I hope you are able to keep this up throughout your whole life.

Rainbows are symboled to represent happiness and joy, whereas clouds represents relaxation and coolness.
Tears and Sorrow... Bright side of tomorrow... If you play your cards right you can truly be happy.
