I’ve never thought <br />In terms of happiness, <br />It always seemed <br />More mythic than Zeus <br />And less obtainable <br />Than gold and other precious stones. <br /> <br />I do what I have to do to survive, <br />I try to show kindness to strangers, <br />Apologize when I hurt someone, <br />Never relish in an enemy’s demise, <br />And never take anything <br />That isn’t rightfully mine. <br /> <br />What I’ve missed in happiness <br />Will be returned in the perfumed breeze <br />Of spring flowers <br />That God will waft to me <br />When I lie down in eternal sleep.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happiness-2-0/
