Are you a "bright note", or sober and sad?
Do others see you as happy or mad?
You can spark joy when others are down
By being upbeat and refusing to frown.
Choosing to laugh and wearing a smile
Can "color" your day and make it worthwhile.
Joy is contagious... a good thing to catch
And spread all around, it's warmth to dispatch.
You can make light each everyday task,
And when you are through in leisure can bask.
You need not be all "dragged out" and tired.
When you let joy in, you're happily "wired".
"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones."
Proverbs 17:22 KJV
