Today's Poem

Happy Thoughts

What we need are happy thoughts
You won't get far with other sorts
A joyful mind has chance to grow
To places where the rest can't go

These crazy times we know too well
Despondent people never sell
A brooding soul may have some charm
But check the nature of his psalm

A warning comes when reaching out
And yet it's best to have no doubt
The ancient blessing holds its course
The change we need, we mustn't force

So in our busy, hectic lives
A ray of hope at last arrives
No cost at all, despair retorts
When faced with endless happy thoughts

Well I'd better put on my happy face and head on out to get a happy meal and smile and joke all day long. ;-) Hey, that's what I do every day!

You are so right. Happy thoughts are so important in our lives because it makes us who we are. I can't live my life any other ways, I'm just a happy love-filled person. I give love and receive love and I'm always happy. Of course there are moments in my life that I feel sad too, but the sadness is short-lived because my happiness outweighs the sadness. I don't know how to write sad poems. If I wrote them they would not be real to me.
