Spreading Happiness


S hare your love along the way, 
P ray for others every day, 
R ejoice and always be gay*, 
E ncourage in what you say, 
A ppreciate straightaway, 
D onate your time, stop to play, 
I nspire with your word array, 
N urture goodness and display
G rin radiant, cheerful sway, 

H ug when needed, fears allay, 
A ssist the aged in dismay, 
P raise, positive traits portray, 
P romote peace, elders obey, 
I nvolve in good works, per se, 
N ourish love, be that bright ray, 
E mbrace differences, yea, 
S erve humbly, be kind alway, 
S mile and problems go away. 


*gay - happy
