How can I be happy when <br />Most people known to me <br />Are dead and gone? <br />How can I be happy when <br />Only a few known to me <br />Are left behind? <br />How can I be happy when <br />My frame is weary and <br />My senses have turned dull? <br />How can I be happy when <br />The grave beckons me <br />To come and take rest? <br />How can I be happy when <br />The world I loved has <br />Lost its sheer magic?<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-can-i-be-happy-when/
