happiness is a state of mind

Happiness is something created in our mind.
It is not something you searched and so seldom find.
It’s just waking up and beginning the day
By counting our blessings and kneeling to pray
It’s giving up wishing for things we have not
And making the best of whatever we’ve got
It’s knowing that life is determined for us,
And pursuing our tasks without fret, fume or fuss
For it’s by completing what God gives us to do
That we find real contentment and happiness too.
