Spreading Happiness--An Acrostic
Speak to me, please, only of glad tidings;
Plant in my heart seeds of happy endings.
Receive me with open arms enfolding
Every piece of me take notwithstanding
All my flaws and our misunderstandings.
Desire not that I may lose my footing
In this world that is constantly shifting;
Not for selfishness am I entreating--
Give me joy that I may joy start giving.
How can I to others happiness spread
After all that I once loved are now dead?
Pray, tell me, in spite of evil widespread
Put happy thoughts in my mind and my head?
Inspire me, thus, to see beautiful things;
Nay, more than that, come be my help and wings.
Ease my pain, awaken my heartstrings
So that I, too, can deliver blessings,
Spreading pure happiness to all dwellings.
