Analysis of Life's Questions
Ann Yaggie 1970 (Florida)
Are you happy or are you sad
has life been good or has it been bad?
Do you love or do you hate
Do you give or do you take?
Do you laugh or do you cry
Do you think or just wonder why?
You can win at life, if you never give up
look on the bright side and fill up your cup
with love and laughter, and here ever after
never be sad or think of the bad.
