It's No Secret
the secret to being happy is not a secret after all
believe me it’s really quite simpler than you think
let kindness be your filter to sift your every thought
so you never will regret a single word that’s said
conversations need be soothing and your smile give comfort
let love be your common denominator to friend and foe alike
take it one day at a time and seek to make the most of every moment
life’s too precious and too short to squander time about
let gratitude take permanent residence in the comfort of your heart
you’ll welcome each new sunrise to treasure as a gift
you’ll find fresh beauty and goodness everywhere you look
the secret to being happy is not a secret after all
believe me dear it’s always been more simple than you think
