Isn't it funny,
how the one's who seem most glad,
who alway share their smile
are actually really sad?
And the ones really sad,
who view the glass half empty,
just see reality as it is?
I know how the world would be,
if everyone was sad.
The sky would be blue,
and the grass would be green.
The seasons would turn
from Summer to Fall
and Winter to Spring.
Flowers would bloom,
babies would cry,
and people would wonder.
But a world
filled with only happy,
now that is a mystery.
