"Happiness must be claimed and never idle, so much so, when it is nigh," ... by the Poet. Our Heavenly Father, I am grateful for this happiness that ever flows, for this morning's accord, we rise in our happiness of righteous glows. Thy breath of life, that gift to us, --happiness, that had surely pleased, for on that day, our day of days, our happiness in time past, be eased. Neath showers of happiness filled with joy fail at times the eased ploy, sway naught our gifts unto the swine, let happiness be times to enjoy. Happiness and sadness loop on a string be tied together or separately, if it is the latter then happiness will fall. Pray to tell your question to me. I am an Angel of the Lord, know you that I can tell, happiness tied to air as you can see, 'tis sadness that I hold, seize your happiness, my dear.

This was from my Mom's prayer book, well known to her heart for memory sake of course that she says EVERY morning for Heaven to waking up and she claps her hands, thanking and praising Grace/Jesus, before she close her eyes recites this here her morning prayer BTW--I changed one word to Happiness replaced Blessings--forgive me Mom.

loved your beginning quote as I did your poem. It felt like a beautiful, soulful prayer to me. Also noticed the beauty in your rhyme scheme. Have a pleasant day, Sara
