                                               Ain’t   it   Fine   Today?

                                                      Sanyam   Jain
                                                    2017A5PS1120P

                                             Sure,   this   world   is   full   of   trouble

                                                    I   ain’t   said   it   ain’t.

                                            Lord,   I’ve   had   enough   and   double
                                                  Reason   for   complaint;

                                          Rain   and   storm   have   come   to   fret   me,

                                                  Skies   are   often   grey;
                                           Thorns   and   brambles   have   beset   me

                                                  On   the   road   –   but   say,

                                                   Ain't   it   fine   today?

                                   What’s   the   use   of   always   weepin’,   Making   Trouble?
                                                          Last?

                                             What’s   the   use   of   always   keepi’'

                                                   Thinkin'   of   the   past?

                                             Each   must   have   his   tribulation   -
                                                  Water   with   his   wine;

                                               Life,   it   ain’t   no   celebration,

                                                Trouble?   –   I’ve   had   mine   -
                                                    But   today   is   fine!

                                        It’s   today   that   I   am   livin’,   Not   a   month   ago.


                                      Havin’   losin’   takin’   givin’   As   time   wills   it   so.

                                               Yesterday   a   cloud   of   sorrow

                                                   Fell   across   the   way,

                                               It   may   rain   again   tomorrow,
                                                  It   may   rain   –   but   say,

                                                   Ain't   it   fine   today?
