David Smith Poet I do not know?

Increase Your Chances of Happiness

All the truly happy people I know,
Tend to be grateful for what they have got,
And for another's share never plot.

All the truly happy people I know,
Delight in the success of others,
Without any ruffled feathers.

All the truly happy people I know,
Don't seek the limelight, 
Performing their good deeds under moonlight.

All the truly happy people I know,
Are more likely to be forgiving,
And are often witnessed doing the right thing.

All the truly happy people I know,
Are good at drawing lines,
And always pay their fines.

All the truly happy people I know,
Are not afraid to show their human face,
Their faith never shaken, in the human race.

All the truly happy people I know,
Have helped me be more grateful
And less hateful.

Sunlite Wanter April 16, 2018 at 6:38 PM So well written. It's a never ending effort, but it results in happiness. David Smith April 16, 2018 at 7:58 PM Yes. I don't think happiness can be achieved to any degree without a little gratefulness. Thank you for taking time to read. I don't pretend to be happy all of the time and am not sure it is possible but I think I am a hopeful person and like to give hope in most of my poems. Fondest regards David.
