Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is anniversaries.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.
A fourth anniversary poem in praise of those who know the secret of happiness:
Happiness comes wholly
from within,
A gift of wisdom, temperament, and love.
Praised be those who know what is worthwhile,
Pleased to find their pleasures in the heart,
Yearning for a beauty that is theirs.
For them, good feelings aren't hard to spin.
One can care for life despite one's cares.
Underneath the feeling is the art,
Returning grace for grace and smile for smile.
They bear their riches on an inner wind,
Holding course for lands that blessed will
prove.
