The Keys To Happiness

Take time to smell the flowers,
enjoy the sun upon your face.
Celebrate life to its fullest
as if you might soon leave this place.

Treasure always your loved ones,
treat every person as a friend,
be kind to all living things;
only good thoughts should you send.

Reflect, don't dwell on the past,
live in the present all you can.
Look ahead to the future and
take hold of life with both hands.

Never lose sight of your dreams,
stay young at heart and mind,
always help those in need,
and true happiness you will find.
