Joy is Homemade

Happiness is something we make,
It’s in our minds.
It’s not something to search for,
And seldom find.
It’s just waking up and beginning the day
By counting our blessings and kneeling to pray.
It’s never in wishing for things we have not,
But in giving thanks for all that we’ve got.
For it is by completing what God gives us to do
That we find real contentment and happiness too.
