Choose to be happy
Take that option today
Find delight
In a contented way
We opt for 'If only'
We had this or that
Our lives would be better
Instead of being flat
'If things were different'
I'd be so content
But if things were different
About other things we'd vent
So be mindful of what
You think you need
Happiness doesn't come
From material feed
Nor does it come from
People or praise
It comes from within
And with you, it stays
Choose to be happy
It's by far the best way
Then watch how your life
Improves every day
