Richard Lamoureux Poet Rhyme

Happy Or Sad

Some may be serious
That is okay
Some prefer laughter
They both have their way

I'm somewhere in the middle
I tend to vacillate 
A foot in each world
With both I relate

It sure is great
When happy comes by
The clouds all part
I only see blue sky

When sadness visits
This may not be the case
Still it's at those times
I count on God's Grace

Whenever I look back
At the end of the day
Happy or sad
I think both are okay

I think people often confuse pleasure with happy and that often equates to an empty feeling.

Richard Lamoureux November 6, 2012 at 5:20 PM I do my best to limit, I had enough in my younger life to last a few lifetimes. Thankfully life has blessed me since then.
