**I know that I usually don't come to this forum, but I thought I would post this here! Hope you like it! God Bless- Stacey**

In the sun's final glare
the crickets begin their song
when the dawn breaks
do the crickets want to go back?
Back to happiness
An old man stares at a photo
coffee-stained and ripped
his eyes well up at that sweet smile
he dreams he could go back
Back to happiness
The little girl covers her ears
the screaming is too loud
she hugs her teddy bear
crying, aching to go back
Back to happiness
Time cannot be frozen
or turned back
but it doesn't need to be
for the happiness isn't in the past
or a place
or a person
but in your heart
so go back to happiness
Today

The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love. ~Gal. 5:6

Happiness is in the heart.......for some it's DEEP within. So deep within a mesh of confusion and darkness it'd take a lifetime to probe your way through. It can be done, but hey........
Anyway I thought that it was a great poem. Saying that happiness is within the heart....very well done.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

It was very good. Your right happiness does come from the heart. I could see the old man...nice image.
