Do u know what it takes to be happy?
I have taken so long to learn.
There are no ropes to it.
Just candles to burn.

Seasons change.
The globe revolves.
Tides turn.
The Moon calls.
Why is it so hard to know this all?
I simply recall.

One night to date
When I called for milk
Mother's hand came
And that was all!
A comfort shake
A blessed wake
All in all

So what then?
To harken for
Late night kicks
And pleasantries ball
I know not
Any
Such tricks
Or pennies;
Lessons harden
One's recall
Longing nights
For a kiss
Or a hug
From Dad
He's home!

Scrambling for a smile
Or bawl...
'Tis no more
Such as these
Easy -going
Cool as breeze
Slings and cravings
Forged aside
Ridden through
Daring nights
Lost in sequence
Bells in toll
Only God knows
Heaven foretold
