HAPPINESS
What is happiness? Of course,
It's difficult to define
and what is yours
may not be mine.
It woulds nice to have love
and riches too
but sometimes a warm stove
will have to do.
As long as nothing hurts too much
and we can see and hear
and bear the troubles that on us touch
it's still a pretty good year.
Besides there's not much use in complaining
when there's too little sun.
Just use umbrellas if it's raining --
because too soon it'll all be done.
And if on our brief way we say , " we're happy", then it's by stealth
because, apparently, it has very little at all to do with wealth.
