Happy

Happy is a feeling that should be easy.
The world today has made that feeling
only a sweet memory.

I walk walk around seeing children play
remembering those innocent days.
I  am on the journey of life and
some days it is just impossible to bring
a smile to my face.

Happy is a feeling that should be easy.
The world today has made that feeling
only a sweet memory.

Today I learned a new swear word to add
to my vocabulary.
I get dressed to head out for the day and what
it may have for me that I do not know.
All I have is the hope in my heart to get me through 
The day.

Happy is a feeling that should be easy.
The world today has made that feeling
only a sweet memory.

I listen to all the things people have to say
but it all ends up as one big blur.
I sometimes just wish to sit alone and bask in the sunshine
but I do not have the time anymore.

Happy is a  feeling that should be easy 
The world today has made that feeling 
only a sweet memory.
