Choose To Be Happy

I will choose to be happy and bypass my "woes".
It feels good when laughter inside of me grows.
A bright frame of mind my woes will appease.
I smile more and fret less and feel more at ease.

Merriment has a healing effect,
And drives out those thoughts we should not collect.
For one solemn thought can lead to another,
And soon we can't think of anything other.

Happiness is a choice to pursue,
A quality which we should practice and woo.
It's not about things, but rests deep within.
And often it helps us to prosper and win!

"This is the day which the Lord hath made: we will rejoice and be glad in it."
Psalm 118:24 KJV

"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine..."
Proverbs 17:22 KJV
