Be Happy
by Cindy Clabough

Your life will always be filled with trials
It's best to admit this today
Decide to be happy in spite of it all
The first thing you do is pray  

Thank Him for giving you all that you need

And for all the problems you face
For He knows it all, and gives you the tools
To handle each trial with Grace
Quit spinning your wheels, stop making excuses

Start having your day in the sun 

Remember that fear is the opposite of faith

And that precious time waits for no one.

Stop waiting until all your bills are paid off

Or until the kids are grown
Lose ten pounds, finish school, get a new car

Or when you get that new home

The first day of spring, maybe next Monday

Seem like good times to begin

Or maybe on the day you retire

Or when you get married again

Are you waiting until your health improves

Or when your CD's mature?

Maybe you're planning a cruise or a trip

And then you'll be happy, for sure

 

Well friend, I hope that you ask yourself

Why you think you have time to wait

Your decisions today are all that matter 

Every choice determines your fate

What happens when all of your hopes and plans

Don't work out the way you had dreamed

How will you feel when you realize

That waiting has robbed you clean

Of precious time, of moments so dear

Of good things that just couldn't wait

Get up, my friend, go enjoy your life

Live it now.....before it's too late.
