How To Be Happy Poem by lalitha iyer

Happy you are
when the heart is light
lighter the heart is
when the hours are sweet
hours are sweet
when the moments dont bear
the ugly thoughts and negative spots
sit on the bank
and silently enjoy
let no thought cross
the boats with lights
crossing the bridges path
let the breeze cool
the agony of an emptied purse
when worries catch up
patch up the thinking stuff
find out the leeking column
and paste it with precise alums
every day when the dawn is on
wake up with a new alarm
wipe off the yesterday storm
watch the streets
and the skies of blue
birds chirping in the trees
think of life not as your own
that ups and downs are part of all
pains and not fear of pains
should push you down
in the drowning mourn
dont reget the past
and worsen the moods
always wish for the future
and nurture the zeal
hunger and poverty are not sins
neither they could eat you
if the will could take you
to the uphill top
give you all the top scores
and always love you
as if you are somebody and more.
