Happiness

Happiness is our decision

Every day when we conscious

It's not subject to our conditions

Yet rather on our inward position

It's a choice to see the upside

In any event, when things don't go as they ought to

It's a mentality, an approach to being

That can achieve a feeling of liberating

Choosing happiness means choosing love

For ourselves and others, below and above

It's a conscious effort to let go

Of negativity and let positivity flow

Happiness isn't something we find

In any case, something we develop to us

It's a nursery we keep an eye on every day

Watering with appreciation all around

A light sparkles from the inside

A signal of joy in a world brimming with commotion

It's a gift we give ourselves

A fortune that won't ever fizzle

So when life tosses difficulties our way

Also, we feel like we've lost our say

Recall that happiness is a decision

That in our souls we can constantly celebrate

Let go of worry, let go of fear

And choose happiness to draw near

For in the end, it's not what happens to us

But how we respond that matters, thus

So let's choose happiness each day

And let it guide us on our way

For in choosing happiness, we choose peace

And in choosing peace, all troubles cease.
