Alrighty Then!

Just when you have decided to hold on and wait until when
Better things start to come your way, you get hit again

It might start with a package being delivered

That has nothing within

To hearing the great news that this year

You have to pay in

You take your fist and look at it and want to pound the desk

But then you remember that just yesterday you

Had decided to look for the best in the worst of any test

So you grit your teeth and softly snarl, "Alrighty, then!"

Remember that just because you have decided

To look forward to a brighter day

Does not mean that the brightness will begin right away

You have to be faithful and not let yourself get down

Who knows; the next minute or hour might turn your fortunes around

And then, my friend, you can say with joy

"Alrighty then!".
