Choose Peace

There's two sides of life,

It's the good and the bad.

Sometimes life brings happiness,

Sometimes life is sad.

It's all in how you handle,

life's ups and downs,

Whether you carry a big smile,

Or a constant sad frown.

When I look back,

over the good and the bad,

I wonder if I remember,

the blessings I've had.

So, in counting all my blessings,

I find unbelievable grace,

I stop complaining,

and put peace in sad's place.

Happiness waits inside you,

To give you peace of mind.

Sadness will creep in the darkness,

to try to steal peace every time.

So keep happiness in great abundance,

remember the battles you've already won.

Choose peace to live inside you,

and cherish joy as your bond.
