Happiness
Happiness
is like a crystal,
Fair
and exquisite and clear,
Broken
in a million pieces,
Shattered,
scattered far and near.
Now
and then along life’s pathway,
Lo!
Some shining fragments fall;
But
there are so many pieces
No
one ever finds them all.
You
may find a bit of beauty,
Or
an honest share of wealth,
While
another just beside you
Gathers
honor, love and health.
Vain
to choose or grasp unduly,
Broken
is the perfect ball;
And
there are so many pieces
No
one finds them all.
Yet
the wise as on they journey
Treasure
every fragment clear,
Fit
them as they may together,
Imaging
the shattered sphere,
Learning
ever to be thankful,
Though
their share of it is small;
For
it has so many pieces
No
one ever finds them all.
