CHEERFULNESS

When we all are at dawn

We keep the spirit down

Fueling the fear of dusk
As it gets dreadfully dark

We all live in fear of death
Without keeping our mirth
Time ill-spent is time lost
Time well used is our best

We can ignite our insight
To lead all our lives bright
How can we sight the light
When our hopes turn blight

We should keep liveliness
For our living in loveliness
Exploring all cheerfulness
Tidying up thoughtfulness
