HAPPINESS IN A JAR

As I try to wish away, all the sadness that I feel; As if a night sky's falling star, could grant me something real... If only one small wish, of what's eluded me all this life thus far; I'd wish for just some happiness, just a little in a jar; So I could open as I needed, unload some sadness that I feel Much like unloading bulky freight, From a trains overloaded boxcar... If only I could wish away, all the sadness that I feel, I'd finish this life with certainty And a soul full of new found zeal...

I find with sadness, you must give yourself moments in time to “not think about it,” for always we remember. Hugs ~ Kim

Thank you. No one ever hardly responds. Critique, insult, lesson. Nada. Lives can be very different from others and even their own at different times
