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