Synopsis: Checking the news is like diving into a pool of negativity. This writing is about some of the positives that have been happening.
While the news is stressing and depressing, I have an idea
Discuss these stories over Swedish meatballs from Ikea
Like Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, it's about positive thinking
Something to give the world a 360 in rethinking
Sam Kaplan graduated from college at 72 years old in Georgia
At 99, his mom attended the ceremony; that's just gorgeous
Right before us, Dennis Barnes graduated college doing the noble
185 college offers; no doubt, that boy's going global
United States murder rate is lower than in the 80s and 90s
The Internet increased kids test scores with great ease past the 90s
Child mortality is the lowest it's ever been; a new norm
That last line is something guaranteed to give a few warmth
Poverty rates declined; cancer treatment is becoming redesigned
Intertwine that with the ozone layer possibly being realigned
Iced with the fact we're living longer by about 6 years
Imagine how much more we could do with that extra time here
