Happy, the Dog, on the Highway to Heaven

 

Happy Trails

Happy Trails, dear Happy.

You'll have blue skies

from now on.

Your spirit's moved on,

but your memory remains.

Our lives were better for knowing you.

The Happy Traveling Companion

As a traveling companion

on the road of life

Happy was grand.

She was just happy to be with us,

so she never minded the plan.

"What are we doing today?," 

her eyes asked me.

"Whatever is fine

because I'm Happy."

GPS: The Highway to Heaven

Happy Happy

Full of Love

Pint-sized bundle of joy.

On the highway to heaven

It's time to rest

and regain your strength

so you can rise again once more.

GPS: go straight past the sun

to heaven above

to play among the clouds.

Then plan a return trip

in a new spacesuit

to spread your special kind 

of happiness around.

For Elizabeth and James Huntsman, the fortunate companions of Happy, 

the pint-sized bundle of joy. May your hearts be full of warm Happy memories.

The Happy Dance

 

  

Dancing Our Cares Away

I wake up in the morning

to see what I can see.

And what do you know?

I see fairies in my head

dancing merrily.

Each and every morning 

they dance the happy dance,

and bless me with their singing songs

putting a smile on my face.

So let us follow the fairies,

and dance our cares away.

Let us learn to sing and dance,

and take an attitude of play 

throughout our day.

Let us greet each morning

with thoughts of gratitude, 

and let us dance the Happy Dance

and be happy through and through.

The Flower Fairies

 

The Flower Fairies

The flower fairies 

you bring into the house

wait 'til nine

when the day is done

and you have dined.

Then out they come 

to whirl and dance

Leaving fairy dust 

and good feelings

all over your place.

They kiss you 

on your forehead

while you're fast sleep,

and tickle your toes

while tittering softly

and making tiny peeps.

Into your dreams

they spread fairy dust

and good feelings;

you wake feeling happy and loved

ready to start your day 

thinking of all things appealing.

But Wait, What's This?

But wait, what's this?

Don't tell me there's more.

Yes! Yes!

There's flower fairies galore!

There's so many more hiding 

at the bottom of the vases,

hidden within the greenery

who've uncovered their faces.

 OH JOY!

Silly rabbits and foxes 

and other fun beings

to entertain your imagination 

while you enjoy your breakfast. 

Keep looking for more good spirits

throughout your day,

and stay in a good mood 

while you work and play.

Get Up! Keep Going!

What the Future Holds

When we look to the horizon

we're never alone;

We're in this together

on this Earth we call home.

All who have come before us

are there to guide us through;

with helping hearts 

for me and for you.

We're surrounded 

by good spirits wishing us well;

They know how hard life can be

and sometimes only time can tell.

So they surround us with love

and are our saving grace

for all the hardships 

we are sure to face.

Get up!

Keep Going!

they whisper in our ears;

there's nothing to stop you in life,

so quell your fears.

Get Up!

Keep Going!

Our good spirits say;

today is a good day,

and that's all we'll say.

A Soft Morning Gently Unfolds

 

A Soft Morning 

A soft morning gently unfolds

The good spirits begin to show 

No need to hurry today

they say

The calm spirits say 

let's lollygag and hang out all day

Today's a day to refresh

Let's play

A soft day is always lurking below

ready for you to notice and gently unfold.

Let your good spirits in

to slow you down

and lift you back up again.
