TRYING TO BE HAPPY

Yesterday

When I was trying to be happy

I loved those who love me

I respected those who respect me

I smiled at those who smiled at me

I helped those who help me

I hated those who hate me

But I was sad and bad, and

I was called selfish

Today

When I sit alone in the night

The glittering stars from

The clear blue sky

Stared at me and smiled at me

That you are happy. I said yes

Hoping I am on the way

Like a honey bee searching blossoms

Because I love those who hate me

I respect those who never respect me

I smile at those who never smile at me

I am generous and kind to

Those who are strangers to me
