If I am happy for the

Sunshine, and new leaves and

Blue sky and bright flowers; Or

Happy that I feel healthy

Today, or in love with my

Man, or exuberant about my

Children;

Will my happiness make someone else

Sad?  Is it alright to feel my

Joy even while others are

Suffering?  Yes!  There is a benefit to

The world from a happy life

Tipping the scales

Creating

Producing

Multiplying joy so

All can feel

God’s love-

Dear self; be happy and

Pass it along!
