I Have Won

Show your happiness

Why do I wear this frown
The scowl cast upon my face,
Why do I look for stormy clouds
When the sun is shining all over the place.

I need to smell the flowers
And see the clearness of the sky,
Ride the smile fighting to get out
Soaring with happiness way up high.

The many gifts I have
Are laid out before me,
Camoflauged in the daily battles
I just have to open my eyes and see.

Blessed with a wondrous family
And the ease of perfect health,
Why do I not count this
As an asset of ultimate wealth?

Breath taken for granted
The gift of life assumed,
There are no second chances
Not even if you are exumed.

I can feel the smile forming
And just need to let it out,
Allow it to flow freely
Without worry or doubt.

Happiness is in living
The blessings of people who love,
Cast aside the unhappy feeling
And thank the man above.

I see the flowers
And feel the warmth of the sun,
My family, my health, and love
With happiness, I have won!
