TIME OF AWAKENING

Above this tent of green

A blue sky lay overhead

With trees hanging all around

Dancing from side to side

The kisses by the wind

Made every tree to sing

Oh, what a melody!

Sweet sounding symphony

A taste of grandeur

From tree rustling

Sea rumbling

Birds chirping

Wolves howling

And wind hovering

Oh, what a melody!

A melody like no other

Just like heaven's ochestras

Playing with harps and cymbals

Trumpets and drums of thunder

Such a rare symphony

Oh, such a melody!

The sound of awakening

The rise of earth angel

The time of gathering

And homecoming.

The Cost of Happiness

If happiness is a thing money can buy,
Only the rich will have a cause to smile.

If happiness were sold for a price,
Maybe all I'ld have is sorrow and frown.

If happiness were a seed sown on one man's land,
Of course, many would have been starved to death by now

But happiness is a gift bestowed on me from above,
Like the rain, sunshine and the breath I breathe.

Happiness is a miracle that begins with a giggle, a smile, or a laughter
It ignites my soul, lightens my heart and brightens my face.

Happiness is a seed I have found aplenty in me,
It has grown wider than the oaks and higher than the palms.

This happy tree has more fruit than I alone can eat
Little wonder I share joy, love, and smiles with every passersby.

Happiness has taken hold of me.
And I am happiness personified.
