I'll Just Think of the Happy Things in Life

Let's see...:
a walk on the beach on a sunny morning
almost always makes me happy...
with the birds chirping happily in the trees
and the fluffy clouds sailing by...
That's happy...
Then i'll think of friends who care:
who have always treated me well -
that would surely comfort and console,
and bring the smile back to my heart....
lastly, i'll just tell myself,
as i've done so often before:
that it's silly to be sad
when the world is full of joy
and life is so short, especially now
that one is closer to sixty than yesterday...

So, my friend, worry not for me:
for i am able to console myself
better than anyone else can do;
so if you see me now
you'll not be able to tell
that i have been sad and blue...
