Heartache joyous flowing down
Releasing sadness all around.
Making love a thing of the past
Making sorrow ever last.
Melancholy thoughts abound
Swirling, twirling, I hear the sound.
Make me happy, make me see
This hardship is not my destiny.

Try to judge what is best for you.
What makes you happy.
Makes your day.
I believe this will bring countless miracles into this your life.
And those surrounding, loving you.

Love unfolds and let it be
Crushing sadness and lonely
Rising high
My heart love does
Soaring over all that thuds.
Trumpeting songs of loving joy
Smiling happy is employed.
Caressing kindness
The optimistic kind
For all love
Is always blind.

Sorrow manifests
Deep within of me
No reason
Just fatality
Slowly rising up
Overwhelming me.
Sorrow
Sadness here
Deep within of me.
Treasure happy
Treasure gladness
See and be
For sadness
Sorrow will fill the glad
If you let it be.
Tinkle of laughter
Skipping
Down the path of destiny
Filling hearts with joy
And all necessities.
Sadness in the gutter
Sorrow no part of me
Let it be.
No sadness
No sorrow manifests
Only happiness
There
Deep within of me.

Well, what will it be today?
A poem?
A thought?
Or something filled
With disarray?
I think not.
Something positive.
Something bright
Something that fills
The night
With stars glistening
Ah so bright.
Yes, that’s what is going
To be today
Something happy
No disarray.
Won’t you stay
And play?
What a great day
A great day to play.
That’s what is going to be
Today.

Tender mercies follow me
Down the path
And cross the sea.
Tender mercies set me free
Of all this heartache
Anguish and hostility.
Tender mercies let me be
Happy, pleasant
Full of courtesy.
Tender mercies fill me
Full of grace, calm
And dignity.
Tender mercies now I see
Life and love
Can set me free.
Tender mercies let me be
A better person than
Even I thought I could be!

Loving heart
Gentle kindness
Living life
Full of love.
Missing you
Missing love.
Remember nothing
It’s okay
I will remember
Yesterday
Brimming kindness
Gentle love.
Know I miss you
Miss your love.
Be you happy
Gave so much
Loving kindness
Gentle love.
Remember nothing
Remember me
Remember love
For all eternity.

Anger frustration
Darkness and fear.
They dwell here.
A moment ago
I drove them out
Back they came
Right back here.
Freedom to lose them
Freedom to be happy
Without anger, frustration
Darkness and fear.
No one to blame
No one to fear.
Muster the courage
Step out of the darkness
Step there to the place
We hold dear.
No anger, frustration
Darkness or fear.

Anytime is a good time to be happy.

Sick again hard to feel
Pleasant, happy and demure.
Want to lay down, sleep away
But I guess it’s here to stay.
Cope with it, find a way
Make this be a pleasant day.
