Live every day as if it is your last and one day you will be proved right
Since for everyone there is a last day and night
And since the longest lived human life in time not a long span
Live for to be as happy as you possibly can
Be for time seems to hurry and keeps ticking away
And at the stroke of midnight the past will be today
And brings us one day nearer to our life's farewell
Though you will not hear the tolling of your funeral bell
Live to be happy make the most of your every day
The sad one has few friends only true to say
Laugh and the World laughs with you as a truism remain
Why the happy are liked by many no need to explain
Suppose it is hard to feel happy if life is treating you bad
Though it will not make life better for you by feeling downcast and sad
They are one of the rarest breeds of the town
Those who can manage to smile though financially down
Where happy people are laughter seems to abound
As they carry it with them and share it around
The happy go lucky have the inner glow
The reason that others them do wish to know.

Happy people are healthier and live longer. But, you just can't decide to be happy, can you? Good One Francis
