If you desire an hour's
Happiness take a nap.
If you desire a day's
Happiness go fishing.
If you desire a life's
Happiness, get married.
If you desire a month's
Happiness, inherit a fortune.
If you desire a year's
Happiness, help someonelse
To get what s/he want.
Desire is the key to
Motivation and courage.
I forgot to mention: they should be flipped around. If you were ever to inherit a fortune, believe me, within a month you’ll regret it.
This is a great poem. It is too bad that it is spoiled by a negative thought on marriage. A month’s happiness for marriage? Must be something wrong with the desire. Is the poem just a jab at marriage, or has the author really become disillusioned? Unfortunately that is the foremost thought the poem leaves in the mind of the reader. That is sad for such a good poem. Adeline
