Poem Away Cornish sonnet, letter D


Happiness is a Choice

The door to happiness is often closed.
The danger’s thinking that you have no choice.
 Yes, joy from circumstance, we’re all disposed.
 But dip your toe in joy based on the Lord.
 Delight in Him directs you to rejoice,
 despite the many things you can’t afford.

You decide how your disposition goes.
Choose whether you defer to circumstance,
or let His love dictate what your face shows.
Is joy derived from just what you possess?
Or does your hope in Him cause you to dance?
On what does your contemplations obsess?

The door to happiness is often closed.
