Happiness Is A Choice.

Happiness is a choice,
Because we are all made
Out of equal parts -
Half Darkness, and half Light.
It took me a hot minute to
Discover my true purpose, in
This Life.

I'm glad I did, and
I promise, You will to!

What matters is what path
For Yourself, you decide what's
Right.

That very path, in sheer
Excitement is what's waiting
For You.

So don't ignore it, or turn
Your eyes away. 

One day that very most
Important decision of
Your Life, will put you
On the spot, when you
Don't expect it to.

Forcing You to choose.

Because why cry, wail and
Roll in the woe that is self pity,
When you can smile and laugh?
To share the Power of joy
And everything it does
Bring to You?

The Sun seeks to embrace You,
So welcome it with your brightest
Smile.

In return, it will cover you from
Head to toe in the most beautiful golden blanket.
The literal most warmest, of hugs.

That you haven't had and didn't know
Until now, that You needed and
Have missed dearly, in the longest
While.

A storm cloud will attempt
To devour you, in a cape of
Charcoal, ashy Blackness.

It's up to you, to channel
Your bravery and shoo it
Away.

It's Your smile, that has the
Power to brighten anyone's
Day.

For you see, while yes, a
Smile makes others happy -
It is a silly little creature
That works it's way up
Inside you.

Like the Grandest, most
Beautiful of trees.

Creeping, crawling, tickling
You, it's branches reaching
Out and wrapping itself around
Your knees.

Like the strongest of
Roots, from way down
Inside you. Becoming You.
From deep beneath.

…Until the genuine joy
Of it, fills you up entirely.

So smile always, when and
Wherever the opportunity
Presents itself.

Nature's perfect, ultimate
Glorious of gifts.

Slowly you will realise,
Slowly you will see.
Happiness is what carries
You, through Life's wonderful,
Joy filled, unexpected always,
Of journeys.

So spread happiness like the
Only infectious, yet non -
Life threatening disease known to
Mankind.

Spread Happiness so you can
Unveil Light, to the eyes' of those
Who weren't even aware that they
Were blind.
