Happiness

If you look around today,

everyone has something to complain about.

It’s all so cliche

The way everyone pouts.

There’s so much to celebrate!

So much to rejoice!

What’s the reason for all this hate?

Why would you make hate your choice?

A baby’s laugh,

A kind man’s smile,

A good photograph,

A wonderful lifestyle.

You’re safe, aren’t you?

You have what you need?

Why are our thoughts askew?

Do I really have to plead?

Be happy with who you are.

Not with who you’re not.

Don’t wish upon a star

For things you haven’t got.
