Happiness Is Fleeting

Happiness is fleeting 

                                            Happiness is fleeting
                                            Gone before we realize
                                            Gentle wind blowing free
                                            Never held, lost and swept away.

                                            We do not realize we were happy 
                                            Until its gone, and only memories remain
                                            Then mourn for happiness to return
                                            Making us whole and soul to sing again.

                                                                               Colin Ian Jeffery
