Happy??

Happy??
It doesn't matter
who you are or
what you do in life

It's how you count
your blessings, toils
and even strife

If you are the sour
grape in life's little
bunch

You're sure to miss
out on happy
times without
so much
as a hunch

So I say to you
when dark
clouds loom,
remember rain
makes the
flowers bloom

Now I may be
living a fantasy
that you think
is just not real

But I'm the one
who's always
smiling, while
frowning is
your "real"
