Happiness Is A Good Fever (#DAY 22)

men-2425121_1280.jpg

It could have been you sleeping out in the cold
Shivering from the injections of the night visitors
It could have been you sleeping under the bridge
With your head behind a fridge

It could have been you begging for alms
Stretching your arms as rods of textiles
Yes it could have been you
Who'd detest why the sky's still blue

But it isn't right?
So then why frown?
When your day isn't brown
Why put your soul and face down?

Happiness is a good fever
So don't drink the syrup of sorrow looking for a cure
When this fever brings delight and smiles so pure
Don't follow gloom as it tries to lure

Live life with smiles even if you've not got much
Let sorrows and worries get a flush
So your heart can blush
From the sweetness of happiness' lush

Hello! I find your post valuable for the wafrica community! Thanks for the great post! @wafrica is now following you! ALWAYs follow @wafrica and use the wafrica tag!

I liked the message and it got across pretty decent .a bit too much rhyming that seemed like you weren’t full expressing yourself but just rhyming and making sense

Thanks for your evaluation..... I just wanted the rhyme to be natural and flow freely

So I caught myself smiling... Lol... This is lovely .

Live life with smiles even if you've not got much

Totally agree with this , you don't need the universe and it's riches for you to be happy. Thanks for sharing @sammynathaniels

You are welcome

So don't drink the syrup of sorrow looking for a cure

Wow! This is such a powerful line and a true call to appreciate what we are given!

what we are given is far greater than what we are looking for.... Happiness is from within

Congratulations! Your poem was featured in Poets United's Daily Dose #65.
