John Hamilton Poet Acrostic

Humanity

Humanity     

H umility is the capacity to
U nderstand that we
M ay not know
A ll of the answers, and we may
N ever fully comprehend all of the
I ntricasies  of the cosmos
T otally, however we continue to
Y earn, and to learn and to grow, until the end.


H appiness, seems to be a mystery,
U nderstanding how to achieve it
M ay seem to be a daunting task to
A ny one of us, or perhaps all of us, but we
N ever give up
I  n the quest, because,
T rue happiness continues to be the goal for
Y oung and old alike, especially in this complicated world
