Let Happiness Seduce Us

If only we invested...
More of our feeling,
In what pleases us...
'Instead' of that which displeases!
If we showed that...
Embracing it,
And left our disappointments
With less emotional power...
Every hour we produced
To let happiness seduce us,
Would leave so much of it to share,
With others unaware,
This too is theirs to give!
