Empty Hand

I hear your sorrow in your words.

As you mourn what once was yours, Happiness,

Now lost and gone Leaving you with a heart so forlorn.

The coldness creeps into your days.

A chill that never goes away

Eternity looms in front of you.

And the weight of it feels so true.

You search and search for what was lost.

But it seems that Happiness has been tossed.

Far away from where you stand

Leaving you with an empty hand

But do not give up, my dear friend.

For Happiness can be found again.

Though it may seem out of sight

It still exists within your own light.

It's okay to grieve what was before

But don't let it keep you from exploring more.

New joys can still be found.

And with them, Happiness can abound.

So take a step and look around.

See the beauty that surrounds

Open up your heart once more.

And let Happiness come to your door.
