Be happy no matter what the life present to you

Be happy

Be happy no matter what the life present to you
Some wise man said in moment of enlightenment
Can it be true, one follow through with such idea
Smiling in middle of the distraction, blood and tears
Maybe he did not mean it literally, exempting the disasters

The postulate , the figure of the speech
Probably meaning not to be complainer
Find joy in what you have, find sugar amidst saltiness
Taking the day by day, not forgetting dream the dreams
Catching them in net of your reflection

Who knows what he had in mind
The happiness is such elusive figure
How can someone smile when the loved ones dead
The marriage fall apart, the bombs are falling.. nonsense
It's true the person is sum of his deeds, his decisions
Creating or destroying on the same parallel
The smile will appear as long the heart switch to it
With an effort changing thinking from darkness to the light
Sending the sparks of love to universe, not forcing
The happiness will come to you under the shadow of sunshine
Not expected, not anticipated.. the wise man am I right?
