    Poem Commentary

    Depression associated with chronic illness is sometimes hard to bear... challenging the concept of happiness when in pain.

    Happiness



    Happiness

     

    Is happiness a state of mind,
    An existence, just too hard to find.

     A yearning for a brighter day,
    A glimmer of hope to flicker my way.

     The vast expanse of clear blue sky,
    Ignites in me, a desire to fly...

     Away from all encompassing grief,
    To a tranquil place of cool relief.

     Where angels sing their sweetest song,
    High above the maddening throng.

     I'll sit upon a fluffy cloud,
    And wear the most exquisite shroud.

     Maybe, then... When I'm at rest,
    Existence will be... A joyous fest,

     Maybe, when... My life is done;
    The quest for happiness will be won.
