How to be happy?
Such a tall order, as none of us
Seems to have time.
In these days of disorder
To think of that question -
Of happiness being essential
For creating sublime
Feelings of bliss
Which we all miss!
But here's a suggestion.
Sages, down through centuries
Wrote of the 'happy heart'.
They said to begin with the action
Of fighting our Pride,
Which is a determined reversal
Right from the start, as
Harbouring hurt
Means expiring inside.
Resentment can fester,
Cause ulcerous anger
Which never achieves the state
Of the free, - instead
Of learning forgiveness
Revenge starts to rancour,
Harassing happiness
And killing it - dead.
How to be happy
In one easy lesson means
We're fostering daydreams.
Instead we must learn
That the effort in making
Someone else happy keens
Our awareness, and that
The joy we receive
We have to earn.
