The Happiest of Times
It is the happiest of times
It is the saddest too
It all depends on your chimes
If they’re sunny or blue
Tying oneself to all that’s external
may lead to a life of reversals
While banking only on internals
can lead to simmering infernos
A poet’s not a psychologist, and yet
I believe this to be a safe bet
Smile at the world, it’ll smile back at you
Be patient and kind, others will too
