Happiness

by Bucketlist

 
Happiness is, at best, a choice
Contentment is its sister's voice
To have what we need every day 
Spurn gratitude that's sure to stay

Contentment is its sister's voice
For what we have we can rejoice
There are many who don't digress
Needy, yet still choose happiness

To have what we need every day
Freedom, prayer, our work and play
Tangibles don't make life complete
Discontentment can still compete

Spurn gratitude that's sure to stay
Choose to be happy the best way
Our inner world is free to feed
Leave out the gluttony and greed
