Today's Poem

Happiness Breeds

Some days may seem dead and cold
No more to life than getting old
Yet one who learns and daily reads
Will come to know that happiness breeds

Within each line a new surprise
And multiplying alibis
When thought police come and quiz your mind
Surprise them with the dreams they'll find

For strains of life are not all bad
Some joy and hope we all have had
And often just a word will bring
Those happy times of which we sing

The answer to each problem lives
Just turn a corner, life still gives
Emerging from the dark and gloom
A light of hope defies the tomb

Beyond this world into the next
The human mind is ever vexed
But take just one from all these seeds
Remember this - that happiness breeds
