Choose Happy

Hum a melody so sweet, so uninhibited

that a smile emanates from the recesses of your heart

once padlocked, but now free

to laugh at the wonders of a world so joyful that you feel how

could I, did I, overlook the luxuries in the mundane?

With the chirps in your ears and the gentle breeze that sways your soul first whisper —

I choose happy… Then, out loud, with a smile as wide as you’d like it to be speak your truth— it is a choice

and I

choose happy!
