here is a copy of the poem
Happiness
Happiness is something you create in your mind,
Not something you search for but can’t seem to find.
Not something that’s purchased with silver and gold,
Not something that force can capture and hold-
It’s just waking up and beginning each day,
By counting your blessings and knelling 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 you have not,
And making the best of whatever you’ve got.
Its knowing that life is determined and planned,
And that GOD holds the world in the palm of
HIS HAND-
And it’s by completing what GOD gives you to do,
That you find contentment and Happiness too!
Happiness is something you create in your mind,
Not something you search for but can’t seem to find.
Not something that’s purchased with silver and gold,
Not something that force can capture and hold-
It’s just waking up and beginning each day,
By counting your blessings and knelling 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 you have not,
And making the best of whatever you’ve got.
Its knowing that life is determined and planned,
And that GOD holds the world in the palm of
HIS HAND-
And it’s by completing what GOD gives you to do,
That you find contentment and Happiness too!
