You ponder thoughts of happiness,

And how to be truly blessed.

You think of places to go

For your happiness to grow.

Maybe a trip across the sea

To some places like Hawaii.

You consider a house or a car,

And going to the local bars.

Then you collect your thoughts,

And wonder how it could be bought.

You have traveled many places before,

And walked on some foreign shores.

You have had a new car in the past,

But the happiness with it did not last.

If you are searching for happiness my friend

It is a chore that will never come to an end.

If you are not happy as you are today

Don't think you will find in anyway.

Go to your house with a thankful heart

Contentment there will play a big part.

Enjoy the water that is in your glass

Praise God for food in the past.

Let the sun shine on your face

Be thankful God has given you space.

Just count your blessings one by one,
