Happy For Once Poem by Christopher Tye

Happy For Once

Happiness is a state of mind I rarely know,
And yet today I was really happy,
Positively grinning ear to ear,
Pessimism banished for today,
Yet what will tomorrow bring for me.

Fortune and luck may still smile on me,
Ordered lifestyles like mine don't change often,
Relish the day for tomorrow fate could change.

Once more into the breach and smile,
Now if only everyday could be like today,
Chance is a fickle mistress and luck can soon run out,
Even my bad luck can't return so soon.
