Happiness


It's hard to lose for some

And harder to gain for others

It can be given by a friend

And robbed by a mother

 

Everybody needs it

Although not always within reach

It's something to be earned

Not something you can teach

 

Some work for it

Some pay for it

Some bleed for it

Some slay for it

 

If I could own one thing

This is what it would be

To have happiness in my life

For all eternity
