Start Your Day in a Happy Way

Start your day in a happy way –
Don't grump and growl and groan;
A happy, smiley morning sigh
Is nicer than a moan!

Start your day in a happy way –
When the sun lights up the skies,
Think of lots of happy thoughts;
As you blink your tired eyes.

Start your day in a happy way –
Don't kick and shout and huff
A day begun is not much fun
If started with that stuff.

Start your day in a happy way –
As you get out of bed
Make sure you choose the happy side;
Put on your happy head.

Start your day in a happy way –
'Cos now you've slept your sleep
It's much more fun to smile and sing
Than mope about and weep.

Start your day in a happy way –
'Cos when the day is done
You may just find that all the day
Went on as 'twas begun.

So if you want a happy day
Then as the morning breaks,
Just say a happy morning prayer –
That may be all it takes!
