Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is anniversaries.
Today’s poem is a 10th anniversary poem about
attaining and retaining happiness.
I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
Yours,
Nick Gordon
Happiness has much to recommend it,
Although it might require sacrifice.
People very often will refuse it,
Perhaps because it means one must be nice.
Yet some can find love strong enough to choose it.
There is no simple, practical advice
Embracing all that one must do to gain it,
Nor set of rules, consistent and precise,
That would help happy people to retain it.
However, all things precious have a price.
