James Cottrell Poet Free verse

Be Happy

Be happy even when life gets hard
Don't let it stir your anger
You must always be on guard
To defend against any danger
Putting a smile on that face
Will help you think clear
Every thing has it's own pace
So give many thanks and cheer
Live day by day with lots of joy
Do not yell and do not cry
Be happy like a small girl or boy
Who's heart just lifts and fly
Fill your heart with lots of love
And sing high to the Heavens above
