Happiness

Happiness By Franklin Price 4/7/2015 inspired by June Baker Happiness how to define Is your happiness the same as mine Having things for which hell bent Or is it just to be content Keeping up with Alias Jones Expensive cars and camera phones Yachts and mansions first class cruisers If you don't have them are you losers Do you eat and have your fill Not be in doubt of your next meal When it rains be dry inside Make enough to stem the tide Wealth is not about the cash To have it all a frantic dash To strive for things that mean so little Above contentment all's a piddle What does it take to be content Find happiness at least a glint Dwell on the basics and you will find Happiness and peace of mind Self is first of all the most To love yourself but not to boast Then treat all others as if were you Contentment comes as if on cue
