Words on happiness

Michael William Reid

I wake up in the morning 

 

Put on my clothes and boots 

 

And venture out to face the day

 

And make it what I choose 

 

 

My eyes are bright My soul is light 

 

My mind is clear and free

 

As I contemplate my place in life 

 

And where I'm meant to be

 

 

I have fought and I have suffered 

 

But those are not things on which I dwell

 

I have persevered and overcome 

 

Now I have my story to tell

 

 

I wish that I could tell the world 

 

The lessons I have learned 

 

To help them bring their life around 

 

To the way that mine has turned 

 

 

Happiness is not a given 

 

Sometimes happiness is earned

 

Sometimes happiness is fought for

 

And sometimes it is learned

 

 

So for those who search for happiness 

 

Treat every day as new

 

Always stepping forward 

 

Always walking through

    I could have written this Michael as it is exactly as I feel.
    Each new day will be wonderful.
