happiness




what type of personality
chooses to be happy--
as humans we have a choice
to cross the river so we can see,
new paths for exploring
endless possibilities to find our voice
singing praise for each turn

to perceive what we already know
grasping pains deep below
surfaces of our everlasting memory
afraid to move forward--not knowing how to go
old paths obstruct
holding us in a place where we
forget this world is a place to learn

why anyone chooses not to be
happy is foolish to me--
call out in your strongest voice
how passionately you want the world to see,
its time for us all to start believing
energy is ours to deploy
through means we'll all discern

to believe it although
others challenge us to follow
the well worn path to mediocrity--
shine beyond the shadow
using your voice to sing
love and peace is ours for free
when we imagine it in Our world
