Can I Buy Some Happiness Please
I am grateful for having been granted,
This life, such as it may be,
The simplest of things still make me enchanted
But I know there’s much more, than the little I see.
A new born child grips your finger, with tiny baby hands,
And later when it smiles, and shows it understands,
That you will always be there, no matter what befalls,
And when the child becomes Adult, it’s that moment one recalls.
Life is made up of moments like these,
So is there a price you must pay for it please?
You have to give, before you can take,
And it’s yourself that you give, and for your own sake.
The sum of all happiness, is human interaction,
But the only way it works is if it’s selfless benefaction,
If aims are materialistic your rewards you will receive,
But happiness it will not buy do not yourself, deceive.
