Searching For Happiness

I love to wander amongst meadows and fields, the sky's like blue satin the lake's like a sheet. The air's pleasantly cool, as birds chirp and glide and crickets, as is their wont invent an orchestral chant. There in a bower two young lovers meet, their arms are entwined in a sweet embrace, and quickly the sweethearts with a lingering amorous kiss seal their secret loving retreat. Bells suddenly summon a flock of white sheep, I dare not count them Afraid I'd go to sleep. The spring is still gushing, thin reeds in abundance on the uneven edge. Serenity surrounds me All's beauty and grace For Lord, you are everywhere Giving us hope and care.

In the meadow you’re dreamy and the humor of counting sheep...
