"Happiness" 8/89

Happiness--- the simple joys of living;
which may be shared, with others by giving.
The most important ingredient is your good health;
when feeling good; you can work to increase you wealth.

Happiness is a chance meeting of your special someone;
your partner, sharing some sadness, but mostly fun.
She'll make your day when she says: "I do";
and later when she whispers:"I love you".
She is the one: your friend, lover and wife;
bound by the oath for the rest of your life.

One form of joy, most of us don't share;
that's enjoying one's work, which is rare.
What's the problem with our careers, you may ask?
To support our loved ones, becomes our main task.
The job that pays well, will pay the bills;
but an unsatisfied ego, can cause you ills.

To be happy both in your work and at home too;
is very rare, but a level attained by a very few.
This is the happiness we should all strive for;
enjoying the pleasures of life with every chore.

Peter R.
