A Philosophy

“Want what you have” is advice that I’ve heard,

I believe that the saying is true.

Some who keep striving to have what they want

Judge that “having” is really their due.

They never suspect that contentment comes in

When “should have” and “could have” are through.

The way one accepts the way that life falls

Makes a difference and that fact is due

To the way that one thinks and the way that one feels,

In the long run, it’s all up to you!

Be happy, my friend, as you go on your way,

Spread sunshine in all that you do,

And then you will find as onward you go

That sunshine will come back to you.
