But Are You Happy?

Life's Hard Work is This

By Emma BakerPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

I don’t care how much money you make

Are you happy

Not how much you’ve got

I don’t care about success

Not about how hard you work

Do you enjoy your time?

We've only got so much

How deep do you laugh?

Does your body ache with

Striving or love

Do you sing the tune of a working man?

Or a lovers ballad

Are you up with the stars

Giggling or Longing?

Do you have real riches?

Success in your soul

Love in your heart

Peace in your mind

If so

Then you’ve made it

Life’s hard work is this

inspirational

    I do sing the song of the working people... Happiness is a strange thing.... Even trying to be happy is a song of WORK. Life is work, there is no escaping that.
