Happiness is something we create in our mind, It's not something you search for and so seldom find-- It's just waking up and beginnning 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 ife is determined for us, And pursuing our tasks without fret or fuss-- For it's by completing what God gives us to do That we find real contentment and happiness, too.
