Secret of Life....





How many wander,
Weary and wondering,
Down roads so often travelled?
How many ask the
Same questions, repeated
Always in their minds?

What is the secret?
Can't you please tell me?
How can I be happy?
Is there someone who knows?
Where is paradise?
How do I get there?
When will time end?
Is my watch running fast?
How do the clouds taste?
Can I run across them?

My friend, slow down!
Take a breath,
And pause.
Worrying about life,
Happiness, and the divinities,
Is the surest way to lose them.

The secret of life is having no regrets.
Happiness is found in a laughing child's eyes.
Paradise is anywhere you can call home.
Time ends when you watch it fly by.
And the clouds?
They taste like the rainbow,
Mixed with a little cream and sugar.

Some day we'll all fly,
Spread our wings and soar;
For now you'll have to walk
Your weary way on Earth.
Fear not, my friend,
For if you heed my words,
You needn't have wings
To be happy as the birds.
