Being Happy

I would rather be happy and glad Than depressed and sad, Helpful and always giving And always happily living. I enjoy being honest and truthful And always feeling very youthful, And always being there To give both my love and my care. I enjoy being everyone's equal And not their sequel, I enjoy that I never do judge Unto no one do I hold a grudge. I would rather pick you up from the ground Than to ever let you down, And I enjoy from happiness to wear a smile Than from hate and tricks to wear guile. I'd rather give you the shirt off my back Than to see you ever wear a sack, I would even give you my shoes If a long journey you did choose. I would rather call you my friend By the days very end, Even if you I do barely know I will not think or ever call you my foe. Of no one am I ever ashamed No ones being will ever go unclaimed And I would be proud of you at my side Even if you felt you had everything to hide. I would rather be all alone Even ignored and not ever known, Than to argue or fight or to be mad I would rather just be happy and glad. Randy L. McClave
