It's time for the Monthly Poetry Group, hosted by Karen at Baking in a Tornado.  Participants write a poem about a topic one of us chose.  This month, our theme is If You're Happy and You Know It.  Be sure to go check out all the poems.

If you're a happy person

you'll make others happy, too,

it doesn't take much effort,

it's not very hard to do.

It starts with a sense of humor,

make sure you keep it handy,

for what others have done to you,

a bad memory is just dandy.

Try to enjoy little moments,

on grudges waste no time,

laugh a lot, apologize fast,

letting go is just sublime.

If you can make someone happy, do it

share the laughs and jokes,

and don't put your happiness key

in the pockets of other folks.

Even happy people have problems,

when I do, I just sing,

then I know my voice is worse than

any problems life can bring.

Life is too short for grudges,

love those who treat you right,

pray for those who don't,

in daily life, take delight.

If you're happy and you know it

you'll have that special glow

and everyone will see that

you let the gratitude flow.
