Show the World

Hands to the sky, raise them higher than high
Let your smile tell the world of your delight
Clap if you will, let them hear you better still
Let your sounds of joy flourish day and night

As far as happiness goes, we will always know 
If you’re sharing well with us the way you feel
Let it all come out, beyond a shadow of a doubt
We will then know that your happiness is real

Don’t ever fake it…live it!

Amen, Michael. Show the world our happiness by our actions and not our words alone, so I take it. I like this alot and will put it in my favorites for inspiration. Peace to you! Ivy
