Oh Happy Day

Oh happy day, happy day! The sun is smiling, everything's okay. I'm alive by God's design, Oh happy day, I'm feeling fine! Life is meant to be enjoyed, so happy thoughts I have employed. Today I'm gonna shout and sing, not gonna worry about anything! Life's too short to be all down, and no one likes to see a frown. So I'll tie my cares to the tail of a kite, and fly that thing clean out of sight! Oh happy day, happy day! The sun is smiling, everything's okay. I'm alive by God's design, Oh happy day, I'm feeling fine! 9/1/15 For Casarah Nance's 101 word poem contest. Tied for 5th place
