What would you give for a day in Spring, With bright green grass and windy hills, Sapphire skies and cotton clouds, And the fairy gold of daffodils? What would you give for a Summer day, With your own rainbow overhead, Butterflies and hummingbirds, Hovering over each flower bed?
What would you give for an Autumn day, With leaves of orange and brown and gold, The smell of wood smoke in the air, And all the love your heart could hold? What would you give for a Winter day, Whose landscapes glisten white with snow, A blazing fire and a friend to share Sweet memories of long ago?
Is there among us anyone, With wealth enough to purchase all This loveliness, no human hand Can duplicate, however small? What do you suppose the price And value of such things would be? No man who lives is rich enough, ...To buy what God gives us for free!
Everybody, everywhere seeks happiness, it's true, But finding it and keeping it seems difficult to do. Difficult because we think that happiness is found Only in the places where wealth and fame abound- And so we go on searching in "places of pleasure" Seeking recognition and monetary treasure. Unaware that happiness is just a "state of mind" Within the reach of everyone who takes time to be kind For in making others happy we will be happy, too. For the happiness you give away returns to "shine on you."
