Happiness Breeds

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
