well, a hike, a cup of tea, with a friend - makes the link
- to a life that can bring you happiness my dear
the key is gratitude, ooooh, I do swear
- so, take a moment each day to think about
what you are grateful for - and please please don't
- dwell with the what if's, the whens, when to be
life is now, let yourself sink into it, stay free
- and be grateful that you can Just Be - one more day
it is not for everyone, so just listen and say
- to yourself that a small joy is what makes it so big
with its ups and downs, life is what you should digg
and be grateful for small joys like walking on snow
with some fresh air, a sunset, and you linger with how
- is it possible to feel such a joy for just that.....
- and it is
