The Bluebird of Happiness

The Bluebird of Happiness

This is the 'Bluebird of Happiness”, For joy and happiness around it flows.

And the pleasures it'll bring you, No one will ever know.

So, here's a poem that will help you understand, About this blue, little bird.

Just listen now carefully to each and every word:

Once upon a time this bird was very sad, And joy and happiness is all he ever seek.

But no matter how hard he prayed, His days toiled on gray and bleak.

He knew something was missing, something in his life was lost.

He felt so empty inside, But for happiness he'd pay any cost.

So, one day he flew upon a mountain, and to his astonishing eyes appeared.

A wizard dressed in a silken gown, Holding a crystal ball so clear.

He flew on the side of the wizard, And asked about the crystal ball's meaning.

The wizard said, "It's the answer, To any question of a living being."

 So, without a doubt the bird asked, if he could ask it a question?

"Yes," quickly came the reply, "Need help with a suggestion?"

"Oh, no thanks" said the little bird, "There's only one question I'd have to ask,"

"How come finding happiness is such a trying task?"

Moments later appeared in a crystal ball's sight, A beautiful rainbow, on the other side a shimmering light.

For as the saying goes, And everyone is told.

At the end of a rainbow is a pot of gold, But no one knows what lingers on the other side.

Something warm, something bright, Something dark could never hide.

For a candle of happiness and friendship, Burns forever in one's life.

And as long as it burns, You'll have comfort and no sorrow or strife.

So, do you understand that for you there is a light that burns happiness forever?

Nothing can blow it out, not even the worst kinds of weather.

Just anytime you are feeling down with life's troubles and pain,

Just light the 'Bluebird of Happiness' and all happiness will remain.
