All This In Pursuit of Happiness

The crack of dawn shows me its claws,
the path of happiness between the dragons jaws,
shimmering rays pierce the curtains without flames,
all this in pursuit of happiness.

With my feeble feet i take head of the hurdle,
i make strength to jump over the paddle
life's tasks are not wishes on a saddle's
all this in pursuit of happiness

Risks are essential to meet your goals,
crushing every hope underground like moles,
teaching us the concept of chemistry moles,
all this in pursuit of happiness.

The drive to be best at your game,
constant preparations never subdue your flame
only becoming the king to grow more fame,
all this in pursuit of happiness.

The sunsets as i break from life,
working hard for my children and wife
to give my keens the best of life,
all this in pursuit of happiness.
