I'd be happy, only if...
Our often deceptive belief -
If I were a superstar,
Or rode a brand new car;
If I had a better house,
Or a more understanding spouse;
If I flew a private jet,
Or could get my dream pet;
If I had a lovelier face,
Or lived in a riveting place;
If I had a better friend,
Or could get more to spend...
Young or old or rich or poor,
Who doesn't want one thing more?
Joy thrives in no place apart,
From the kind and grateful heart.
The Point Of Happiness
Only If....
