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!!!

Saturday Random Contemplations

In this consciousness we call life,

we have all been baptized in fire of adversity.

How we come out the other side is all that matters.

No need to dwell on the terrible things that happened, those just tested our mettle.

Try to remember that, when you’re overthinking like I do.

Find a peaceful way to integrate your past as a part of your life and series of lessons.

Some light and simple others quite cathartic.

Be present, be now, enjoy what’s in front of you.

Not what’s behind you or ahead of you…
