THE JOY OF LIFE

I am happy,
Are you?
I am smiling,
Can you?
I give love,
Do you?
I receive love,
You, too?

I have hopes,
I have dreams,
I have peace,
I have love,
What about you?

Hold dear to life,
Hold dear to dreams,
Have peace in your heart,
It is all that is seems.

Don’t worry about the small things,
Don’t worry about the impossible.
Just give love and kindness,
And your joy will be possible.

For the joy of my life,
Is in the peace that I have,
In the love that I give,
And that by which I live.

There is no mystery to happiness,
There is no need for sadness,
Just give and you’ll receive,
For love is all you need to believe.
