Happiness Is Now

I lost in wealth But I gained more in health I feel strong and happy Like the smiley puppy Money is a piece of paper Or a mixture of iron and copper Happiness is now Be as joyous as a laughing cow Enjoy your life, live like There is no tomorrow Stay normal and low Like a smart boxer Like a strong fighter Walk, eat, run, drink, box and bike And take time to rest Love your friends and neighbors Don't ever be a pest Know your limits and borders Money dries up like ice water Water evaporates in the air Like gas, oxygen in the atmosphere Live like a great fighter Do not take anything for granted Adore God not the false prophets Treat your health better than your pets Relax, so you can be forever anointed Being healthy Is better than being wealthy.
