-------------------- <br />Happiness - Sadness, <br /> <br />Meaningless words... <br />Feelings reflect, <br />Emotions absurd <br />Smiles with faces, <br />Frowns on clowns <br />Worried mothers <br />Silent children <br />Void of sounds <br /> <br />Mind control, <br />Nerve endings <br />Muscle spasms <br />Tear ducts flow... <br /> <br />Laughter by control, <br />Sadness by choice <br />Smiles be masked <br />In our hearts we rejoice... <br /> <br />There is truth! <br />There are eyes with lies, <br />Tears for cries... <br />Happiness is <br /> <br />'A heart that tries' <br /> <br />* We look to others for <br />this feeling, only to see <br />obscurities and deceptions, <br />The answers are within us - <br />and will always be... <br /> <br />(c) 1990<br /><br />Louie Levy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/happiness-194/
