This search for happiness
is just an illusion,
hopes, and dreams grow then fade
constantly.
Whilst we spend precious time crying
the trees, birds and flowers thrive
in acceptance of their given place
without question;
and in that they become
calm, beautiful and serene,
the very thing that does bring
true happiness;
and maybe that is why
God didn’t need to give them
tears.
