Choose Happy

Quite a lot we ask of our selves
as we try to up hold these principles
but this is what it_ life has come to for us
we delay so many things 
and hold off twice as much
But this life this life 
is a short timeline.
I say live now 
don't regret it later
wishing you had done this
wishing you had done that
wishing you had lived 
wishing you had time
More time to do all those things you loved
but never did
Willing to will but willing not.

We are considered adults at 18
yet we don't get our lives until 25
Many a time we date till 30
But more often than most
still end up single or unmarried and worried.

Life is a choice
let us choose each day
to be happy
to love
to cherish that which we have
before we hunger for that which we don't yet have.
let us choose not to be perfect
for that's who we are are (perfectly imperfect).
Let us choose not to worry much
let us have our lunch and brunch
Let us choose to seat back and slouch
the moon and sun to watch
and to the humming birds to listen
Let us choose to have fun
let us like wind choose to run
let us choose to fall
to fall in love with ourselves
unemployed and unmarried
educated or uneducated
rich or poor
the thing is for sure
We all deserve a happiness that's pure.

Choose to be happy
choose happy.
