Poems by Juan Olivarez : 453 / 1315
Happiness, Requiem
Happiness to a broken heart,
Is like water to a tree.
So be careful from the start,
Lest all happiness should flee.
Little things somehow add up,
To something big someday.
So make sure to fill her cup,
With affectionate displays.
Don't be a fool, it just won't do,
To set her needs aside.
She needs to hear it, just like you,
About that love you have inside.
Happiness can only come,
If you open wide your door,
The little things, that seem to some,
Will add up more and more.
Happiness is the reward,
You work for all your days.
So start stocking up your cupboard,
And be quick to mend your ways.

Everlasting Abiding Love
Who will infusion write
superbly written proverbial
parable in wisdom verse
promoting the essential need
of a stock of daily compliments
to store up as a life time larder
of everlasting abiding love?
Secret recipe for eternal love
is not mythical flame above
small treasure gifts of kindness
serve to daily alleviate life woes
life serves all such bitter blows
happiness bright source flames
from true love’s treasure gifts
in times of need this store uplifts
Inspired by the poem ‘Happiness II’ by Juan Olivarez
