Let Live Our Happy Days


“Live each one with joy-
      Life's gift, a brand new day.”
                                     __by Poet

There comes a time in life when every day
becomes a prize as each rolls by.
We know the waiting sunset is in view; 
with dark, cold night around the bend.

Embrace each day as if it were the best.
Help shape it, not to be the last.
Try filling it with heartfelt forms of love-
caressing blessings as they come.

Recall those years of giving, we still share- 
be large or small, that makes them smile,
along with love and kindness, they give too
that paves the purpose of our paths.

Safeguard those snapshots in fond memories
with what still sparkles every day,
then tuck away all things that cause deep pain.
Let's live our joy in happy days.
