Happy Places

Happy places are here and gone
And without so much temptation
Put away those pills and drinks
Pick out the smiling faces
You're always so depressing

Pour a glass of lemonade
Lap up the rays of light
All aboard the rainbow yacht
Call up the kids and wife
Entwine yourself in something real
Stop staring at the sun

Very uplifting poem. We can actually make ourselves feel happy sometimes, just by putting a smile on our face. Very nice!
