Happiness

My soul it is full of joy Sometimes I feel as I will explode I wish happiness to every man, woman, girl and boy As I joyfully walk a different road, Inside me there lies a mirth Which brings me happiness and a smile I wish that feeling to all upon this earth As now it has become part of my new lifestyle, Upon myself there has come a bliss This happiness I just cannot explain The sadness and sorrow I will not miss As I will wash it away like the rain, I once had walked a different path And all I found was pain, sorrow and sadness Potholes were filled with anger, hate and wrath I swore and I curse I was full of madness. Then one day I took a different trail It was a route that I never took before To me a new life did prevail Where I went, I needed and wanted to explore, It took me away from all of my sins And it led me away from guilt and lies When hating ends, good then begins Happiness and peace was my prize, Now I always feel an uncontrollable elation Wherever I am or wherever I might be Happiness has become my jubilation And now the sadness it has turned into glee, If my face and soul an artist could capture Then all would know how I do feel Upon my soul and being there is a rapture I am so happy; I just can't stand still.
