What makes you happy? Money and wealth?
A life without working, fitness and health?
How can you find that warm inner glow?
What in the world can make happiness grow?
What makes you gloomy – no money, bad health?
Sadness and happiness are not linked to wealth!
What’s given you happiness, write down a list –
Put on your thinking cap – what have you missed?
The beauty of nature must be one of those things –
And does your heart lift when you hear the birds sing?
But if your family despise you, and you feel of no use,
What kind of happiness will this treatment produce?
Love brings you happiness, without love despair.
You don’t need a fortune, just people who care.
Spend time with the ones who'll bring out your best -
Those who would change us are the ones we detest.
What makes you happy? A kind word and a smile?
Fault-finding and grumbling are never worthwhile.
If we give away love, more comes back in return
Show others you care - give out love and concern.
Be optimistic – look for good in all things –
Turn on some music and have a good sing.
Don’t think of tomorrow – work hard for today –
But enough of this preaching – I’m off now to play!
