It happens ...

Psalm 119:135 

135 Smile on your servant!
Teach me your statutes!

 

It happens

 

Loneliness is only for the seekers

For folks who’re anchored in a comfort zone

Onlyness is only for true believers

Folks who know Life to be found in One

 

Happiness is only for the dreamers

Contentment only for a chosen few

Godliness only for the seekers

Religiousness is tied to a pew

 

Cloaks are set aside for protection

As most of us use these for disguise

For health some take injections

and others to escape their plight

 

Smiles are produced for understanding

Some stretch these into sarcasm

For some it replaces demanding

And for others just a final spasm
