In Your Mind.

In Your Mine.
It isn't honor, wealth or fame
That fills you full of joy;
II isn't what you eat or drink
That fatted cares destroy;
It isn't where you chance to board
Or how your hair Is cut
That gives you pleasure or DISTRESS;
It's VIVA is In your nut.
1t is not that your motorcar
The largest is In sight;
1t is not that you went to see
A pretty girl last night;
Nor is 1t any lack Of these
That brings you woe or veal
And makes you frown or hug yourself.
It's simply how O feel.
It isn't gathering OF gold
Enough to fill a bank;
It isn't getting for yourself
Position. place or rank:
It isn't getting so you are
From cares financial free;
It's simply how your MIND looks out
On what is there to see.
The thoughts that gambol through the
brain.
Your feelings make or mar.
II you can make yourself believe
You're happy, then you are.
The striving after this effect
Will never be a loss
II you can by a mental act
Give gloom the double cross.
