Happiness

Heaven can be found right where you are.

Angels surround us; open up your eyes!

People you have come to know - you need to prize.

Parents, siblings and friends - one may be your guiding star!

Inner peace, once discovered, brings an outer glow.

Nurturing relationships, your peace will grow,

Enriching your life and the lives of those you know!

Soon life's meaning will be so clear to see -

Sparkling, a guiding star to others YOU will be!

A prize winner for sure. Listen! Money is not happiness. A man with 6 million is no happier than a man with 5 million. Hardy harr, harr, harr. Love daver
