Francis Duggan Happiness Poems

Human feelings can be like a river that in drought times is low
That after heavy rain in stature does grow
And on towards the great ocean bank high does flow
To truly appreciate happiness sadness you must know
...

That happiness is infectious only true for to say
And every happy person makes new friends every day
Those lacking in humor few of wish to know
One reason their friends in numbers never grow
...

True happiness until death is based on a fallacy
To Be content in your mind at most times is the best you can hope to be
Anyone who can live without too many mentally down times in life doing okay
One cannot expect to live a lifetime without one sad day
...

The billionaire the impressionable never fails to impress
Though it is true money cannot buy one happiness
And happiness it is not out there to find
It lives and it blooms in the individual mind
...

The wealthy and the famous their lives are not their own
For everyone knows their business this is what comes with being well known
The celebrities may be in the news and by many admired
But some of them yearn for their privacy and of their fame grow tired
...

Good health and happiness and freedom of inner strife
These are the most valuable things in your life
These are the things that cannot be bought or sold
For all of the World's money and gold
...

When you are in a good mood to strangers you even say
Good morning, good evening, good night or good day
Happiness can be quite an infectious thing
That friendliness creates friendliness seems a human thing
...

A happy person always so good to meet
One smiling and down to earth without conceit
Just meeting them does bring some joy to your day
About them they do have such a happy way
...

In the mind that is angry and bitter for happiness there is no room
Like in a garden that is covered in thistles you will never see a flower in bloom
Money may bring you admirers and with money new friends you can win
But money cannot buy you happiness since happiness is a gift within
...

What does define happiness i would not know
On bushes and trees such a thing does not grow
Even the wealthiest people in every town
Does know how it feels to be mentally down
...

To understand human behavior not easy at all
Some people complain though their worries seem small
Their business showed a two million profit last year though they wished it were three
With the greedy it is much does want more that's how it seems to be
...

He is not the person that he used to be
And a darker World out there is all he can see
Though the sun it is shining with a gentle breeze
On a pleasant Spring day close to twenty degrees
...

For loving someone truly the price can be huge to pay
That is how it is and that's how 'twill be for it has always been this way
The poets write about love the singers of it sing
Though few talk of unrequited love though there is such a thing
...

Your dream of great happiness for you has not come true
And a change of luck 'twould seem you are overdue
But of hopes for the future you do not despair
And through the hard times you have hung in there
...

Her shoulder length brown hair is blowing in the breeze
With herself she is one who does seem at ease
A beautiful young woman untouched by conceit
Young men look at her as she walks on the street
...

In Lusher park I met a young woman in her early twenties maybe
The sun was in her golden hair she said good day to me
A happy smile lit up her face and warmth in her friendly hi
And all around the sunlit park she spread her gift of joy.
...

Our search is for true happiness but such we cannot find
And such a gift if it exist not meant for human kind
For some this life is hard so hard a battle all the way
Their plate with food is seldom full they live from day to day.
...
