The Cure
Been pondering a year strewn with loss and pain,
Illnesses and breakdowns seemed to have control.
But then little things looked over, thinking again,
The year has not been bad at all, just forgot to see.
'HAPPINESS SNEAKS IN THROUGH A DOOR
YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU LEFT OPEN'
John Barrymoore
Now looking back the joys come to light.
Friendships that have grown stronger.
Reunited with family long left to be.
Children grown and making a go of it safely.
'HAPPINESS SNEAKS IN THROUGH A DOOR
YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU LEFT OPEN'
John Barrymoore
Though somethings have taken work,
It was with satisfaction to reach the conclusion.
Some doors may have closed but many more opened.
Happiness is in the allowing it to be there, not locked out.
'HAPPINESS SNEAKS IN THROUGH A DOOR
YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU LEFT OPEN'
John Barrymoore
Seems that seeing the bad and having it stick,
Is the human way, but so much more good happens.
Let the less wanted go and search for the positives
that really could be the natural cure, for happiness
'HAPPINESS SNEAKS IN THROUGH A DOOR
YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU LEFT OPEN'
John Barrymoore
