Happy and Free Poetic Discourse Banquet of the Mind

Todddude™ Thinks Poetry, Lyrics, Education and Creative Thinking Provide Another Window Through Which to See!

Kenneth Shelton
Happy and Free

Open your eyes.
I will help you visualize.
Don't you realize?
Nothing happens tell you try.
Come along with me and be happy, happy, happy.

Come walk through the fields.
There everything is real.
Climb up that old cherry tree.
There goes a bird.
Oh look at him fly.
Those wings were made for you and me, to see.

Put on your overcoat.
Walk through the rain.
Don't let me stop you now.
Go out and meet the world.
Go out and beat the world.
The world was put here for you and me, to see.

The night is cloudy and you lay wide-awake.
You wonder what your next day will bring.
Don't you realize?
Nothing happens till you try.
Come along with me and be happy, happy, happy.
And free.
