Don'T Worry; Be Happy

Many are dry tears behind smiling eyes...
Running hardened thoughts; mind softly endured,
To live whenever hopeful effort dies.
Only courage to proceed, breaths ensured.

The smiling face may hide such saddened tale,
That happiness said goodbye long ago,
But COURAGE TO PROCEED don't make you frail,
Conditions showing future you don't  know.

How cloudy worries make potential hides!
Courage shining its bright auspicious   light;
Into nook and cranny where dream resides,
The possibility life's breaths delight.

Be happy no matter what comes of hope,
Worrying only weak courage to cope.
