Happiness



When the day feels brighter
And your heart seems lighter
Your lips curve up higher
And music gets you to sway
That feeling you have within
Which is making your head spin
Is called Happiness
But will it stay?

Sing out with gladness
Get rid of that sadness
Try to be happy always
For this blissful sensation
Filling your heart with jubilation
Can be yours always
If you choose to let it stay

Please hold on to this feeling
It ought to keep you reeling
A fair price willingly paid
Cause therapy would be dreary
If you lost it all too early
Only deep darkness awaits
Now go, spread your Happiness
Because not many have it
Blessings will surely come your way
