He Loved Optimism
by Safi Abdi
Thursday, February 22, 2007
Rated "G" by the Author.

Give serenity another name
Or simplicity another face.


He loved optimism
Hated pessimism.
Positive, ever so positive
For the little things always appreciative:
The cackle of the baby
The sip of plain water
The first to smile
The last to disengage.
He loved optimism
Hated pessimism.
Good of intent
Mild of voice
Light of foot
Gentle, ever so gentle.
He loved optimism
Hated pessimism
Invited criticism
Celebrating pragmatism:
His Jihad being just an operation
Against the aberration:
The middle course, O my followers
The middle course, O my followers.
 (c)2007 Safi Abdi. All Rights Resevered.
