Reason A. Poteet Poet Rhyme

Happiness

a rhymed acrostic

H	Hung'ring for righteousness, I am content,
A	Attacked by foes, a reward put in place.
P	Peacemaker mid conflict, a child of God,
P	Pure in heart, I shall see Him face to face. 
I	Inheriting the earth when meekness rules,
N	Needy in spirit, Jesus gives more grace.
E	Eased from my mourning,  I comfort others.
S	Seeking mercy, mercy I embrace -
S	Sharing salt and light, seasoning my world.

based on the beatitudes of the Bible
Matthew 5:3-16
