Odette Milne Poet Rhyme

Longing For Happiness

A little happiness my way, is that asking so much?
It just seems to be the one thing that I cannot grasp.

I'm not asking for much, I just feel it's my turn,
to wake up with a smile, that's all that I yearn.

I'm not a bad person, perhaps wrong in the past,
but i've paid my dues and been punished, 
so how long does this have to last?

How I long to be happy and feel life's worth the live,
there's only one person I now live for, I live my life for his.

I keep getting knocked down, but jump straight back up,
I appreciate everyone has a share of bad luck.

But now this is beginning to make me feel weak,
I just long to find happiness, that's all that I seek!

So if anyone can hear me, please consider my request,
even the tiniest piece of happiness, would be the absolute best!
