From happiness thou beget
Thy laughter and its rhyme
Thy heart n thy dime
But from sorrow thou borrow
Solace and peace
And wisdom to keep
Edited
From happiness, I often find,
Laughter flowing, free and kind.
Cherished memories held so dear,
A well of strength that's always near.
But from sorrow, I come to borrow
A flame that burns and lights tomorrow,
Peace that calms, a quiet guide,
To light my path and stay beside.
