Happy

I’ve been a lot of things
In my life, and there’ve been lots of places
I’ve wanted to see.
Don’t mean to sound maudlin with
Vague rumination
Or overwrought sentimentality,
But as I’ve grown older, and
Hopefully wiser,
My mindset has changed by degree.
Of all the things I could do
With my life
There’s just one thing I want to be:
Happy.

Can’t think about all the things
That might have been
As Autumn leaves fall from my tree.
The past is behind, The future unknown.
Right now is the moment that
Sets my mind free.
And though the world taunts,
And teases and tempts
To seek out a new pedigree,
The answer remains in
A playful refrain.
There’s just one thing I want to be:
Happy.
