Happy Eyes

If you find your life is getting tougher,
And no-one can know how much you suffer.
If you find no reason for your existence,
And you struggle on with much persistence.

If you find that no one can understand
That your troubles are getting out of hand.
If you do not know where you are heading,
And your future is now what you are dreading.

If you find that there's no point in living,
That you do not take but are always giving.
If you feel that you are constantly failing,
While others in life are smoothly sailing.

Know that from life's storms you can take cover,
And then there's a new world to discover.
And though it may be a huge surprise,
You can now look at life through happy eyes.
