Your Way to a Happy Day

Amid the sunny day
Are those who insist
On having their way
To find a fight
Where none exist
Who persist thru list
Of useless standards
When all that is needed
Is human candor

Their cloud contagious
Their attitude dangerous
To those who think and
Laugh to get things done
Who find great victory
When all have won
Who dream of days
When war is done
Who value time most
When they are having fun

To work at play
And play at work
Is not an indication
That you're a jerk
It might mean that
You have not gone berserk
Climbing the corporate ladder
It might mean
You understand
What really does matter
Amid the ambition
Of lives full of clatter
Where love is foreign
And compassion scatters

You have to be one that gathers
The green of the grass
And the song of the birds
The jokes on the walk way overheard
The pain in a friends eyes
Genuine hellos and genuine goodbyes
A lunch ate while sitting
Stress reduced because of grinning

Each moment a new beginning
Seeing and being
The sun in someone's day
Maybe even for a soul
That wants their own way
