Happiness

What is happiness, I hear you say?
What helps us talk, in cheerful tones?

How does it pick, how does it choose?
When to come, and when to move?

How does it know, to work it’s way through?
Every single person, like me and you?

Some people try, as hard as they can,
To steal it away, from other man

But it’s yours forever, it’s yours to keep.
Don’t let them take, something so deep.

You must look within yourself,
When times are blue,
Because happiness is a thing,
That lives in you.
