Are You Happy?

We only get one chance to live

Upon these hallowed grounds.

If you are not happy,

Then turn your life around.

You are in charge of what you do!

If you are not happy,

search for something new.

There are many things that you can do.

Talk to strangers, talk to friends.

Help your neighbors, now and then.

Get in touch with people you miss,

Turn their sadness into bliss!

I could go on and on with words for you,

But this is something you must do!

Live your life doing what you love.

Don’t forget to thank the Lord above.

He gave you this beautiful life.

It wasn’t meant to be full of strife.

Don’t let your world turn upside down!

Enjoy all the beauty to be found,

And I believe you will

Be Happy!
