A Sure Way to a Happy Day

Happiness is something we create in our mind ,

It’s not something we search for and so seldom find ,

It’s just waking up and beginning the day

by counting our blessings and kneeling to pray ,

It’s giving up thoughts that breed discontent

And accepting what comes as a gift heaven-sent ,

It’s giving up wishing for things we have not

And making the best of whatever we’ve got ,

It’s knowing that life is determined for us ,

And pursing our tasks without fret , fume , or fuss ,

For it’s by completing what God gives us to do

That we find real contentment and happiness too

God Bless !

The only ones among you who will be really happy are

Those who will have sought and found how to serve .
