Happiness Be

Happiness be not created
Happiness be not decimated.
Linger in this world of real
Wherein joy is sought to feel.
Be not stagnant as a placid lake,
But flutter freely for a poor man's take.
Happiness be not in what I do or say.
Happiness be in who I am today.
In darkness where the stars are fading,
I assure you I will still be waiting.
Oh, good happiness, be in me...
Oh, good happiness, set me free.
