HAPPINESS FROM GOD TO MAN Our happiness doesn’t always depend On our social standing in life. Instead good health, with just pursuits And the love of a child, husband or wife. Whatever the blessings life may bring, We gladly clutch despite our desires. Happiness grows like fruit on the vine, Unwelcome to be plucked by liars. We’re never as happy or unhappy, As we suppose ourselves to be. Sadly, some live half a lifetime, Before the light of knowledge we see. True happiness is a wonderful gift, A joy of life, from God to man. Though most fear it can’t last, We pray to have it, as long as we can. Happiness helps prolongs our days, Though most human joys are swift of wing. Heaven allots how much we’ll have As of love and deliverance we sing. By Tom Zart |

Tom, I enjoyed reading your poem and I must say that, though, admittedly, there are times that I do desire more happiness in my life, I do agree with your poem that I’ve never been as unhappy as I supposed myself to be and, also, I agree with Timothy who writes that godliness with contentment is great gain. God bless you and thank you for your kind replies to my poems and for your continued commitment to writing really good inspirational poems yourself. -Bob |
