Happiness
What I want is to get time to stop—
I'm not the first and I won't be the last.
There's a little boat—a ketch or a yawl?
I always confuse them...,
But it sails.
It sails underneath two clouds drifting by.
The Sun and Moon are not two
sides of the same coin, but
Every day and every night I swear
to myself I will change.

Happiness
Happiness is a "by-product" of other conditions in one's life. I once heard a psychologist in a forum state that happiness is having something rewarding to do, someone or something to love, and something to hope for. When these conditions exist in one's life, he or she will be relatively happy.

Sounds about right to me, Mel.
