Happy Thoughts

Happy Thoughts

What we need are happy thoughts
You won't get far with other sorts
A joyful mind has chance to grow
To places where the rest can't go

These crazy times we know too well
Despondent people never sell
A brooding soul may have some charm
But check the nature of his psalm

A warning comes when reaching out
And yet it's best to have no doubt
The ancient blessing holds its course
The change we need, we mustn't force

So in our busy, hectic lives
A ray of hope at last arrives
No cost at all, despair retorts
When faced with endless happy thoughts
