Hapiness

appiness is like a little light.

If you nurture it never goes out.
Neglect it and it becomes gradually dimmer.
When you hold your little light,
It feels as though nothing is wrong
Like the earth is submerged in pure joy.
Like you have a hand to hold.
A voice to guide. A heart to love. And a life to lead.
With your little light, you are enthralled.
With joy. With content. With love.
With your little light, you are safe.
So keep your little light.
And know that when you hold your little light,
When you stare into its flame, When you feel its warmth
Its guidance. Its love
You can handle anything.
