Happiness - Perl

Take yourself back to

A place and time when you were young

Do you remember

The joy you felt at seeing things you loved

Can you bring up those memories now

And see them in your mind

An ounce of that

Can cure a pound of worry

You will find

You say too much

And not enough with what you say

You think out loud

You can’t be told

You always have to know what it’s about

Do you ever stop to feel the breeze

And see and hear it humming through the trees?

What if I told you

Life could be easy and carefree

Would you believe me

And go yourself

And seek it out and see

You could know happiness right now

And hold it in your hands

But to do that

You really need to fully understand

You say too much

And not enough with what you say

You think out loud

You can’t be told

You always hav to know what it’s about

Do you ever stop to feel the breez

And see and hear it humming through the trees?
