Happiness

 

Happiness is a dandelion seed

Floating giddily through the trees

Ever darting around

Never falling down

Elusive and free as the breeze.

 

Happiness is the hope of all men

Their highest hope and highest love.

They stalk and they spring.

They grab for that thing!

Yet they scare it higher above.

 

Dandelion seeds aren't easy to catch.

It takes patience to get one to land.

Just stay right below

And move very slow

It will settle right into your hand.

 

-J.R. Willett
