My livelong..
I have experienced being on earth as a happy song.

Even though obstacles came my way
It was mostly play.

I lost many dear ones to soon…
Some unexpected like a thundering monsoon.

Buckets of tears I cried…
It was hard to except when they died.

But I was able to recoup
Because spiritually they remain in the loop.

I have been blessed…
No time to be depressed.

I worked all my life
And strived to be a good mother and wife.

With some people I had my differences…
And kept my distances.

I focused on positive things
And experienced what pleasure it brings.

I searched for that happy song…
All along.

In my aging years I now brace
For the song at a slower pace.

But however slow
Of the happy song I won’t let go.
