HAPPINESS

HAPPINESS Happiness is like an exultant state of mind A temporary escape from the daily grind Sadness is blown away by a timely breeze And it’s certainly about time, if you please It is such a feeling of joy beyond measure One revels in that most welcome pleasure But one wonders if there’s a price to pay Maybe sadness will return to have its day It’s a balance then, between up and down White or black, and not that greyish brown With a dull life lived in that in-between state Waking each morning and it’s not that great So, be one to seek and experience extremes If you don’t get it yet, rely on your dreams

you presented many facets of happiness. The mundane life is always the key to happiness...seeking and reaching is the best way to see a different aspect of happiness. Well said, Howard...have a pleasant evening, Sara
