Happiness is fleeting - it lasts the time it takes to tear the paper of your Christmas presents or blow out the candles on your birthday cake
Rather seek the blessedness that comes from living a decent, honest life - smile at strangers in the street, give small amounts when it's right, speak the truth and try to uplift the sorrowful, broken hearted, lost and contrite.
For life is the journey - not the destination - seek beauty in each sunrise and sunset and the way will rise up to meet you and the shadows of the night will fall behind you

Yes, I've been living long enough to be
Forgiven
For the bones I broke I had to make
A living (a living)
But we won't back down from anything
In search of a remedy
No we won't back down from anything
In search of a remedy
Father put his foot down on my games
Forever
So in the marketplace I stay calm
And clever
And we won't back down from anything
In search of a remedy
No we won't back down from anything
In search of a remedy

It will all be ok in the end and if it's not ok then it's not the end 🙂
