being human
dan henry lambrix 1962 (roseville)
We find Happiness when we help,
like a cheerful greeting like we are sisters and brothers.
It takes 72 muscles to frown and only 14 to smile,
give a tender hug and go the extra mile.
Harmony is people living together,
be strong and have courage always and forever.
Show kindness each and every day,
be the candle and light someone else's way.
Share the gifts your heart has inside,
like joy and the times you've cried.
Look up in the sky to the stars up above,
show each man and women on earth the meaning of love.
