International Day of Happiness

How very sad it seems to have to say The United Nations needed to proclaim a special day The 20 March henceforth to be known, I guess As the International Day of Happiness How very sad it seems to me That mankind itself just cannot see Happiness is a state of being, we can access Each moment of every day in excess The friendly smile on a stranger’s face A flower, a song, a hug - some place Where we can give instead of take These things true happiness make This is just a simple rhyme, I know Give it some thought tho as you go About the business you know best Think of another and you will be blessed For happiness does not need a special day We can have it anyway, every day, all day , what do you say!

A wonderful philosophy to follow Huberta. It doesn't take much to make others happy,just some little kindness, and in doing so we make ourselves happy. A lovely poem.

Good one. Agree. We could end up having a day for every emotion. Quite ridiculous. We should all strive to be happy every day. Rob
