HAPPINESS

Most people assume there's a mysterious how,
To experience happiness in the now,
By living each moment you'll feel,
A shift in vibration makes it real.
Happiness is not something you earn,
It's your birthright; it's your turn,
To be happy for no reason at all,
You are the boss; it's your call.
You deserve happiness because you exist,
You have that right, just insist.
By acting happy in the moment now,
The Universe will support you, somehow.

Since cause and effect are the same events,
It works both ways, torn, twisted or bent.
Create the effects first, then you'll see,
The causes rush in to fill the vacancy.

Happiness is a state of mind you create,
Instantly, now, with no hesitate.
You've learned to see things only one way,
Which makes it difficult to change today.

Just imagine the joy your life can be,
To create happiness instantaneously,
To smile and laugh so others may see,
Another way they can also choose to be.

So, if you're not happy at this time,
Just remember these words of rhyme,
To be happy requires no mysterious how,
The secret to happiness is living in the now.

EVERYDAY'S A GREAT DAY

"Good morning, how are you?" "Fine, thank you.
And how are you this morning? "I'm fine too."
These questions and answers are social courtesy,
Not what's really in our hearts, just a pleasantry.

Nothing more than mutual exchange of greetings everyday,
It's what has become expected for each of us to say.
But since we're going to say it to people that we meet,
Why not start to believe it and make life sweet?

I hear of people getting up on the wrong side of the bed,
This appears impossible, it may just be in their head
Because my bed has four sides and all of them are right,
It simply serves to carry me through a peaceful night.

When I get up in the morning put my feet on the floor,
I anxiously await the opportunities outside the door.
I quickly scan the area, seek out the first person I see,
Walk up, look 'um in the eye for the reflection of me.

I greet each with a warm smile coming from my heart,
What a fantastic way for each new day to start.
For we are one big family, all sisters and brothers,
And everyday's a great day, some just different from others.
