Walk a Better Earth and Happiness

Walk a Better Earth

Look for the best

in each person

you meet.

When you talk to them,

speak to that part of them

even if they don't

recognize it in themselves.

It will help those you meet

to discover and strive

for their dreams,

Talking to the best

in those around you

allows you to see

more clearly

the best in yourself.

Seeing the best in yourself

and in those around you

allows you to walk

a better Earth.

Happiness

Some say that you

need to surround yourself

with people who will

make you laugh so hard

you'll forget the bad things in

life and remember the good

and then you'll be happy

My friend, I've got some

news for you---

Take some responsibility

for yourself

You need to learn to laugh

on your own,

learn to see the quiet joy

in everyday things,

and everyday happenings

Don't depend to other people

to make you happy

Instead, first find happiness

and laughter in yourself

and pretty soon

happy people

will want to be with you
