Happiness or Something Else
Miserable
you count the ways
you can be mad
or maybe sad
Sow to the wind
reap the tornado
I realized
you cried for missed joy
but not to seek it
If you wanted happiness
you would sow it
whatever little seed
you could find
or gratitude
so I decided
I too, had a choice
teaching happiness
by example
making my antidote
instead of crying tears
It would do you good
to plant it
in your heart
