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
