A Little Happiness

It started with no hope in sight Nowhere to go and nothing to see All was dead and gone The only thing left was tomorrow With certainty the sun would rise And that was a little happiness to get us through to tomorrow

A little happiness of witnessed in the wonders of life All it took was to look here and there A bounty of a little happiness right before our eyes Every moment of the day A world once known we saw no more Its end shown bright at sunset

Waiting for the sunrise replenished that little bit of hope A little happiness sprinkled in the early morning glow Never again this world will return to us Never again shall we know what was given to us A little happiness precious as gold we let go Precious as the souls of all lives once known

No man, no animal, no plant, no life more equal now than ever But never shall it return in this world we let go A little happiness in the morning sun is all we have Who’s left to see the glory of a world others will never know No stories will capture that creation No stories will tell the truth of what ended our creation

A little happiness in the staring up a the sun A lingering light once recognized as life All gone when it sets itself to sleep Yet a little happiness when it decides to return to us each tomorrow
