Happiness is something we create in our mind,
It's not something you search for 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 thoughts that breed discontent
and accepting what comes as a gift heaven sent-
It's giving up wishes 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 task without fret, fume, or fuss-
For it's by completing what God gives us to do,
That we find real contentment and happiness, too.
