Alive and Happy

How can we be happy when the world is so unjust?
An epiphany revealed that ‘happiness’ is a MUST
for my very survival, yes just to stay ALIVE!
Happiness is the key for human beings to thrive.

Let’s walk the path to ‘Happiness’; it’s not too late to start.
Let’s turn away from those thoughts that harden our heart.
When we are unhappy, we’re more welcoming to death.
Let’s strive to be ‘alive and happy’ with every breath.

‘I want you to be happy’ are words quite often heard,
though it seems that ‘happy’ is a desecrated word.
True happiness is not found in man-made gadgets and toys;
It is found when we follow what our soul most enjoys.

Reaching that elated state will take some conscious work,
but striving to be happy is not a silly quirk.
It creates how we look and feel, each step of the way
and gives reason to waking up to another day.

In our search for happiness, surely we will find
that happiness comes from being generous and kind.
It will come from understanding God’s kind of giving.
Happiness is the nourishment that keeps us living.
