Twenty one days is all it takes
To live a better way,
And learn to breathe and meditate,
And laugh and love and play.
As Sally takes us day by day,
Inspiring us to try,
An exercise to calm our minds,
As clear as summer sky.
Gratitude diaries, positive thoughts,
What makes us come alive,
Being present, in the now,
Already it’s day five.
Never comparing, ones own self,
Learning to feel great,
Choosing how happy you want to feel,
Is the tasking of day eight.
On we press, each day a task,
Self compassionate to the end,
A letter to important ones,
Be they family, spouse or friend.
Happy songs which make us smile,
And make us want to move,
To lift our mood and motivate,
And help us to improve.
Happyness Heroes blog their way,
As along their paths they walk,
Encouraging you to share your views,
And engaging us to talk.
Marta helps us meditate,
To clear our cluttered mind,
Self discovery through guided paths,
Who knows what you might find.
So into week three and days to go,
The end may be in sight,
But the end is just the beginning here,
On the path of inner light.
Loving the lyrics Matt. Great how you have managed to capture the whole of the 21 Days package in a poem. Any chance of seeing a vLog with an exclusive performance??
Matt your poem is so so lovely. How wonderful and what fabulous words. We need to make this the official 21 Days poem ! Wow, thank you for that contribution! Very special… with Tim’s thought: full performance??! xx
Aww, you’re very welcome. I’d be honoured for you to use it as you wish and of course I’ll Vlog a reading for you. Namasté one and all xx
I agree with Sally and Tim – great way to sum up 21 days of happiness. What a skill!
Thank you so much Karen. I used to write a lot but just stopped……. Maybe time to start again. x
Wow, that’s absolutely amazing Matt. It’s ..4 o’clock in the morning, and I am up to my old tricks of disturbance during the night. Taking some of my medication with freshly squeezed orange juice looking at happiness blog, cheers me up, especially, reading your poem Matt. And all. Hope you keep cheery, and we will also be looking forward to that planned BBQ. to,have the opportunity to meet up.
Best wishes,
Harry ( the violinist )
