Throne of Happiness

I have charted life’s darkest paths, And slain depression’s beasts. I have faced the face of sorrow, From across the table of Satan’s feasts. I have walked the world with company, And have faced the same roads alone. I have slept on un-comfy beds, Between the walls of home. I was banished from the joy of day, With not a single place to go. Accompanied by my constant companion, The strength of my own shadow. I have tussled with my thoughts, And have submitted to the stress. But I’m back to regain my throne, Of the land of happiness.

It is so good to see you here, among friends, Raul. It has been a journey back perhaps, but if there is a lesson to be learned, it is that friendship grows by open hearts, sharing hardships as well as the sunshine. You have shared it all, with us. I am grateful to be among the friends:)
