Lighten Up

By Tegs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Giggle! This is what's called being happy. Maybe you should try it sometime. It's ok.  It's really not all that strange, most of the world can handle it, why can't you? Here, just follow my simple directions: There's these muscles by your mouth that can move! Give it a try, shoot for a smile, and we'll see how you go. Very good!  Now, throw your head back, and just laugh.  It's a very good feeling, you should try it sometime. Because life is good, we have so much to be happy about, so much to laugh about, so many small mercies that we take for granted, why can't we say thanks, for the little, or lot that we have, smile, or even laugh. Because yes, it is fine to be content. And love life. Written December 29th, 2001 © on Dec 28 2001 09:20 PM PST   0 • 10
