Poetry

Happy are people whose God is the Lord,
Happy are they, knowing their life restored;
Through your day all the people you meet,
You ask them, "How are you?" as you greet;
We tend to use it as a way to break the ice,
In striking a conversation just to entice;
No one ever expects to get any big reaction,
Just some small talk with some interaction;
Who really expects that serious of a reply,
"Not too bad" or "Pretty good" they supply;
How often you hear "Fantastic" or "Great!"
Maybe not many since most hide some hate;
That is for one basic reason that we forget,
The Lord has made this day, be glad in it;
By putting in Jesus Christ your confidence,
You shall feel such gladness in abundance;
There'll be constantly a song in your heart,
That will cause change in you to upstart;
Think of this as a day the Lord has made,
Let's rejoice and be glad and not dismayed.
