Be Happy…

Be happy for what you’ve got

I know it may not be a lot.

Be happy for where you live

Even if you don’t have a lot to give.

Be happy for who you are

You may not be a famous star.

Be happy for loving yourself

Even if others think you’re an elf.

Be happy for what you do

Despite all you’ve been through.

Be happy that you have friends

Support and encouragement portends.

Be happy that you’re alive.

Despite all you’ve had to survive.

Be happy for the person you’ve become

Even if your past mistakes were dumb.

Be happy for where you’re going

Even if the destination is unknowing

Be happy that you are alive

I know life can be an occasional dive.

Be happy for in the end

You’ve learned to be a better person, and friend!!!

Count To…

Count to one

Your journey has just begun

It’ll be fun.

Count to two

So much more to do

Before you’re through.

Count to three

Just you wait and see

Great to be.

Count to four

You can ponder some more

Know the score.

Count to five

Rejoice, you are still alive

More than survive.

Count to seven

Life is becoming a heaven

Learned your lesson.

Count to eight 

You have got it straight

So don’t hesitate.

Count to nine

And you are feeling fine

The bottom line.

Count to ten

You achieve so much Zen

Do it again…

Beauty’s Happy Thoughts

Beauty, stood alone, collecting her thoughts.

She collected them, safely storing each.

Not conflicted by her haves and have nots.

A happy contentment just in her reach.

Sweet feeling inside like a summer peach.

Her lived life thus far has been far from fair.

Now she floats through, almost lighter than air.

Filled with a strength she thought she’d never have.

Strolling down the boulevard with a flare.

A fulfilled life that she’d happily grab.

Entropy Works

Through chaos comes organization.

Everything settles back down to normal.

Sit still, quietly for a moment, you’ll see it.

Everything happens for a reason, you just need to be far away enough to see it.

Don’t worry if you can’t see the road ahead it goes in the right direction.

Be the change, light the way for everyone in the future.

Be the spark that ignites them all, aflame.

Show everyone that change is the key to everything and staying stagnant is death.

As you grow, your world will grow, and your life will grow.

Be, that, change…

Learn Through my Mistakes

I’ll tell you a tale.

And I’ll show you a life lived.

Beauty and sadness.

Good Times and bad ones.

All the pleasures and the pain.

Are for the choosing.

What shall I share first?

All the insecurities.

All tribulations.

Here for the taking.

Just close your eyes and I’ll speak.

Decree my journey.

Words flow like a stream.

Some nightmares some a dream.

Mostly just serene.

When the story’s done.

You’ll know more about yourself.

Apply these lessons.

Live your best life now.

Take chances and change a lot.

Your journey is yours…

Zero Regrets

Eternity is forever

Then we should never say never

Just go for it and take a chance

Ask the person out at the dance

And for God’s sake, please be clever…

Tough Goings Aren’t Bad

Little bird spread your wings

Move along, to better things.

Fly high, far, and away

To a much better day.

You are meant for better things

A happy life and the joy it brings.

So take the lessons and your lumps

Uphill, downhill, flat ground, bumps.

What doesn’t destroy makes you stronger

Take quick lessons and ones lasting longer.

Find inner peace and a smile on your face

Living a life at your very own pace.

In the end my friend, you’re you

Becoming the best in all you do.

So there’s no need to cry or shout

When going gets tough it’s what life’s about.

Be Happy…

Be happy for what you’ve got

I know it may not be a lot.

Be happy for where you live

Even if you don’t have a lot to give.

Be happy for who you are

You may not be a famous star.

Be happy for loving yourself

Even if others think you’re an elf.

Be happy for what you do

Despite all you’ve been through.

Be happy that you have friends

Support and encouragement portends.

Be happy that you’re alive.

Despite all you’ve had to survive.

Be happy for the person you’ve become

Even if your past mistakes were dumb.

Be happy for where you’re going

Even if the destination is unknowing

Be happy that you are alive

Be happy for in the end
