Edward Ebbs Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Looking For Happiness

I am looking carefully at all the poems I have written.
Wonder what has happened that I must have been bitten.

All of my favorite past poems I am accessing.
Many of them sure seem a little depressing.

I love my family, home and beautiful wife.
I have been really blessed in this life.

I have written enough poetry to now reflect.
Pondering again why there is sadness I detect.

My wish is to solve problems in any relationship.
To have the softening of hearts and to get a grip.

My wish for others in this world would be to open their arms. 
Embracing those who bring the best out of you brings no harm.

There is so much need for all of us to love one another in this land. 
Moments of your time can be life-changing and this would be grand.
