‘Happy’

(By 9-year-old Aaron, who attended ‘The Art of Being Brilliant’ at his school. He just happens to be dyslexic.)

Choose to be happy

Sadness never got you anything

When you start to feel sad

Just remember friends and family

And kind strangers too

All support you.

Look on the bright side

At least you have a family.

When I am sad

And need cheering up

I run around with my dog

And eat lovely food.

Back flips, front flips

Trampoline bouncing

These make me happy and glad

To always be me.
