Happiness

By:Sahil Arora

During the song “IT’S A GOOD LIFE IF YOU DON’T WEAKEN” the way “Tragically Hip” wrote the lyrics only conveyed one message to me. Wanting to be happy. The following is a poem inspired by Gordon Downie and The Tragically Hip.

Indeed the greatest feeling to happen to anyone

A simple emotion that can be taken for granted

But if this emotion changes it may decide to run

But don’t worry this feeling is rather enchanted

And does not require any thinking to feel this way

Happiness will surely never be implanted

But if you are positive today will be the day

You hit something called a home run

Or land a big role in a play on Broadway

But be careful not to take it for granted

Always remember to forget the things that make you sad

But never forget the things that make you glad

Never remember the troubles that have passed away

But never forget the blessings that continue to come each day

Happiness an emotion oh so great

Which can be triggered by doing something fun

There is no need for any hate

Try going down a ski run

Don’t be so negative

Keep staying positive

Maybe you will be an executive

So always stay happy!
