Happiness
~~~~~~~~~
I believe
Happiness is seeing,
Even as our life may be fleeing.
Each New generation of our family.
The little ones; Appear, Smile, flower,
And enjoy life.
We watch them as they marvel
At each new thing that awaits them.
They grow and carry with them God’s plan for future flow.

Help each Other
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Deep emotion, earnest thought,
weary souls, that time forgot.
Homeless people, in despair,
many suffer, everywhere.
Then we see an act of love,
un-repaid, yet nothing sought.
To help a neighbor in distress,
and lift them from their hopelessness.
Brings forgiveness from our debt,
fully paid, without regret.
To save ourselves, this is the way,
to help each other, every day.

The Spark of Life
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thoughts and moods shape each day,
they form paths that guide our way.
Rhythms played on the strings of life,
happiness, joy, sorrow and strife.
What keeps us going as we move along,
the mystical music of life’s sweet song ?
It’s our hopes and dreams that drive us on,
till the morning of our final dawn.

The Prize !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wherein lies that elusive mixture of daily life experiences that yields fulfillment and happiness,
Or the inkling of knowledge that leads to that Golden prize ?
As we search, many times in vain, abandon not the dreams of future things we strive to be, lest once we stop,
The prize be lost, slip away, and vanish like a whisper in the wind.

Why Give Back ?
*********************
See the Forest through the Trees ?
The Human condition, in Capitalist competition,
Isn’t opportunity without impunity.
If those who have less, were given more,
Those who have more, would get more.
In an Economy of Supply and Demand,
It’s guaranteed Cash in hand !
