I love the upbeat nature of this poem! One can't help but smile...you give many instances that allow you to feel that warm, fuzzy feeling. My favorite...singing in church.

Going to God's house to sing a song
"Knowing when I am there I can't go wrong

Happiness can be heaven on earth
Working for that goal for all it's worth

Look at me and I will make you smile
Happiness is all around each earthly mile"
These lines made it a easy choice. "Working" that's what it takes and seen what he has for us. Great Poem

I smiled. Smiles can go such a long way in changing someone's day. I even smile at people I don't know. Mom told me it would get me in trouble someday. It did. But I still smile. Great write. joan marie
