Choosing Happy

Life is what you make it,
It's full of ups and downs;
Life can lift you to the sky,
Or throw you to the ground.

The choice is ours to be happy,
Will you make the right choice, or not?
All of us have been there once,
But most of us forgot.

As a child you were giddy,
Almost anything made you smile;
As an adult it's much harder,
Your face hasn't cracked in a while.

When depression sets in, you can't take it,
It's time to sit down and recall;
"What are the things that I love?"
"What makes life worth it all?"

Having a happy life is a mindset,
You think it is hard but it's not;
It's always just around the corner,
Now go rediscover what you forgot.
