Happiness

Happiness is only a breath away
Waiting patiently in the wings
While we scurry about and decay
Chasing after money and things
Friends and family take second place
To our romance with our screens
We touch, caress and admire our face
Captured by a thousand clicks and scenes
We value as golden memories
As we’re seduced and distracted
By our shiny accessories
That have stolen and extracted
Our freedom at such expense
Break out, give way, enjoy life, be wild
Even if it makes no sense
Let loose your inner child
