Happy
A friend asked the other day,
Are you happy in everyway.
I stood there and thought for a while,
And all I could do was give her a smile.
Then I told her with my head held high,
that my years have quickly flown by.
My children have been my greatest joy,
My love for them no one can destroy.
In my hands I hold their hearts,
In my soul are all their other parts.
Now my first grandbaby has arrived,
And it gives me joy be alive.
This little name that is new to my ears,
Will never leave me the rest of my years.
Am I happy in every way,
God can tell you everyday.
Little girls and happy feet
Fills the soul with hearts, laughs loud.
Links girls and heaven; cheers a crowd.
Where ballet and smiling fun soon meet.
A steady dance upon life’s coarse.
Too soon, they up and go away.
Always remembering their smiles that day.
Pure and simple; joy with no remorse.
Dreams and flowers a retreat.
Sweet memories and dancing feasts
Uplifts the face of mundane beasts.
Oh, little girls with happy feet.

When Hannah smiles her happy smile
It takes me back to other times,
Another child, another year
With a sweet smile to bright my day.
It takes me back to other times,
The time between ceases to be.
With a sweet smile to bright my day
I could not ask for more than this.
The time between ceases to be
Another child another year.
I could not ask for more than this
When Hannah smiles her happy smile.

Where is my white picket fence?
Where is my "someday I'll have it all"?
What will it take for me to find it?
What is more comfortable though than
the soft cushion of my mind?
When I'm happy with what I've got...
When I'm all I need, no more, no less...
Why all I need to do is just build one
Why do I have to make things so complex?
How to begin from scratch and build my white
picket fence and paint it ivory white for "my someday?"
How to be happy even more without a white picket fence...
Yes, my someday is here now in the "Simplicity" of life!
By Susan Mills
There is a beach of pure white sand
An island in a far-off strand
where I shall walk with happy feet
Where tall palms overhead will meet
Where green and scarlet birds will fly
Beneath a golden tropic sky
There is a spring, whose waters flow
Along a creek bed cold as snow
That I shall drink with eagerness
With taste of mint and watercress
To quench a thirst that I have known
Within my very flesh and bone
I have a world in which to roam
A tree a thousand miles from home
That I have never even seen
And yet I know it's branches green
Will give me shade some happy day
Beside a lake long miles away
My dream foretells my longing's fate
And so I'll bide my time and wait
In the world happiness is based on what's happening,
But in the Kingdom my joy doesn't have to be based
on what's happening, HAPPY LIVES IN ME. Even when
circumstances aren't happy. To maintain this level of joy
that the world cannot give, and the world cannot take away.
I rely, trust, and lean on my savior, and guess what it's free.
BECAUSE HAPPY LIVES IN ME.
I'm all alone
In a corner of my house
Known better as my room
It is dark outside my window
The wind is howling
Knocking desperately against the glass
The rain is soothing
Sliding down the roof
I'm under a mound
Of soft pink blankets
Trying to stay warm
I can't fall asleep
So I reach for the closest book
The bible
I am now a turtle
I have everything I need
Inside my shell
My book light has turned pink
From the pink blankets
My bible is opened to I Corinthians
The love chapter
My bear is snuggled
Beside my chest
I start reading
The sounds outside disappear
As I drift off to a land of happiness
........
........
........
I'm all alone
In a corner of my house
Known as my room
It is light outside my window
The birds are singing
A happy song
They are telling me to get up
So I do
And I go outside
And sing along
To that happy song
When life has you down
And you're feeling blue
Don't give up
Its Happy Thoughts for you
Happy Thoughts for the perfect parking space
Happy Thoughts to be first in place
Happy Thoughts to get extra change
Happy Thoughts to receive and exchange
Happy Thoughts turn that frown upside down
Happy Thoughts spread smiles all around
Happy Thoughts turn sad to glad
Happy Thoughts makes good out of bad
Happy Thoughts turn the rain to sunny
Happy Thoughts make the scary funny
Happy Thoughts spread the joy of love
Happy Thoughts are gifts from Above
Think Happy Thoughts
And Happy Thoughts will think of you
And no matter the situation
A Happy Thought will happily help you through
I am happy when the sun shines when we walk the path of love when we relieve
hatered
I am happy when there is no more war when men and women boy and girl are
free
I am happy when our earth is healed from polution and poverty
I am happy when there are no more diseases throughout the land and sea
I am happy when there is more time to love
I am happy when there is no more dying in our nation
I am happy when babies are born healthy
I am happy when people care for and about one another
I am happy when husbands and wives stay together
I am happy when everyone lends a hand to help our fellow man
to end this cycle of dispare when everyone care's I want everyone
to be happy I think god would want that to so let's be happy.
