HAPPINESS

I never feel sad.
The day is alive and I feel great
Tomorrow will be good
I just can’t wait.
My heart is warm with a rosy glow
The smile on my face
I love to show.
I need to jump
I like to sing
I want to live
I love everything.
SADNESS
I FEEL DOWN
I FEEL BAD
I FEEL MISERABLE
I REALLY FEEL SAD.
I HATE THIS DAY
I DISLIKE IT ALL
My heart is down
Feel like I’ll fall.
So grey is this world
With its trouble and strife
So cold my spirit
In this dark and gloomy life.
