Happiness As Is To Have
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
It does not matter who has what.
And less things they've got.
As long as they are happy.
And appreciate what they have.
That others do not.
Happiness to look for it,
Seems an unending journey.
For many that starts.
But for them seldom stops!
Others showing to have more.
Are incapable to prove,
Themselves to be appreciative too.
Without expressing a more to want.
Never to become satisfied.
With what they've got to already have!
Or be happier than the have-nots.
Who know the feeling and what it means,
To be blessed and rest to sleep peacefully!
