Be Happy Poem by RIC BASTASA

be happy
nothing is permanent

no one is permanently rich
no one is permanently poor
it is the cycle
that governs the fates of us all
destinies
and change
and rotation of the axis
of this earth

it is the circle
that keeps us alive
so be happy

now you may be sad
and down and
feeling hopeless

just wait
the cycle of life comes
to save you
just wait
the cycle of death too comes
to give you rest

it is the circle
not the flatness
that gives us happiness

be glad
nothing is permanent
the changes come
and you shall
have it
