My Secret To Happiness

I wake up in the morning,
breathe in the fresh air of a new day,
and tell myself that today 
will be a beautiful day.

I smile at everyone and everything
on the way,
then I get a couple of smiles back.

Sometimes we are down when we lose-
whenever I feel depleted in my soul
due to failure or wrong judgment,
I remember my happiest moments
and swing back to life, with bliss!

People never freak me out;
I live my life the way I want to,
without worrying what anyone
thinks about me,
except God.

I never hold on to anything;
whatever that was meant to leave
my life, will leave my life.
Whatever that was meant to return
me, will return…..
