Keep Happy

Just finished this morning. Not very poetry, but I like it. The way I am, the way I feel. I think so many need to hear this.

'Keep Happy', he said to me,
just two words in a
sea of happening,
to see a better day
in the situation.
I want to be happy
because I know
so many aren't.
Just to wear a smile,
I realise no-one
has the thought for
a smile,
all are in their 'state.'
Keep Happy, it's
the only way!

'You're always happy', he said to me,
I try to be, to play a softer side,
I want to be what others aren't,
people don't give a thought,
beyond their space.
I've done my time with anger,
I've settled, let it be gone, as
I need to carry on.
So many driven by
anger, emotion.

Happiness, a dying art,
I'm one to keep the peace,
felt within the heart,
not to appease.
While I'm in a chair
there's still things I can do,
people rush around, they
never consider another view.
They're in their world,
no thought tomorrow,
years pass all too quick,
stained red in sorrow.

To keep calm in the uncertainty,
in the confusion,
words, tension,
loudness cutting the air.
To keep calm, when I know
so many are carried off
in anger, emotion.
Keep quiet,
hold my breath, while
the situation turns, just
to live the day.

Let that to be my light,
let the sun to shine,
too fast, slow down,
take time, look around.
Why worry?
you can't change what is,
To slow down, give time,
see beyond, to understand.

I'm in the position
that I see more,
I have the heart
to see what's going on.
My writings go out
to all, to see a better day.
To help out where I can,
while I can.
My little candle flame.

'Keep happy',
a motto for everyday.

Be happy!
