Happiness

HAPPINESS

What are the things that make us feel this way?
Smiling & laughing & just being at play
We’re always hoping these things won’t go away
We unrealistically think they will stay
It’s okay to be sad sometimes
Why do we think it is such a crime?
Sometimes it’s hard to be kind to ourself
It’s alright to put our worries on the shelf
Forget about the past & be mindful of now
It might make you feel better somehow
Someday soon a smile will start to show
Before you know it, the happiness will flow.
