Happiness

Happiness does be a choice
Why, life is meant not, to be by itself, a thing to rejoice
Life is meant to be harsh, life is crude
Life is to all of us, so rude

See, life does have an ebbing temper
Nothing about it lasts forever
Nothing, not even happiness
Not even the solace of feeling blessed

But happiness can be found in little things
In things which make life worth living
In things which give life its meaning
Little things which do cause our soul to be smiling

For me, my happiness does be derived from the being of my family
A nice meal shared at dinner does be so comfy
A good support given to each other in times of hardships
Does keep a smile scotched to my lips

My happiness does be derived in all my free time
Time which I do use to pen down a strong rhyme
A rhyme about life, another about love, still 
Another about the promise of the celestial thrill

Yes, happiness does be in my art, but happiness does also be in my duty
Wonderful does it be when appreciated is my labor
Feel I then fulfilled, certainly not guilty
For my duty does be that which allows me to serve humanity

Happiness does be in giving kindness and in receiving same
Why, kindness does be God's other name
So always make I of it a must to be respectful, polite
Even when dealing with those who believe their egos are so right

Happiness does be in valuing those who be to me, so dear
Happiness is making sure to them I do always be so sincere
For life does last for a while
And none can predict what shall happen to him at the next mile!

Happiness does be for me, in relishing that which I do have
So that someday, when looking back, I shall certainly not grieve
Rather, on looking back, I shall smile fondly
And bear no regrets, none at all, thankfully!
