Happiness

In this life we have but one chance/
To take part in the happiness dance/
When someone happy leaves this world/
They take with them a lifetime of gold/
Not gold of the rich/
Nor gold of the mines/
But the gold of memories fine/
Happiness can’t be taught/
Happiness can’t be bought/
But happiness can be found/
In the love that lies around/
