They say money can't buy happiness
So maybe .....
.... I could lease it for awhile
Maybe I could try it on for size
Or test drive it for a mile
Not that I would want it
To be eternal
Not on this earth I must say
For without pain
What do you gain?
Without darkness
It would always ..be ..the same ...day

So maybe that is the answer
That comes creeping thru the night
When shadows dance and evil grants
What would never survive the Light
STILL...Some things are never hidden
No matter how black the ink
That stains the pages
Of our history
Those times
We've tried so hard
NOT ...TO...SINK...
SO ..Happiness is not to be granted
For money, Lust or FAME
It can't be rented , leased  or purchased
But it can  be yours.. just the same

It doesn't cost that much you see
A sale can be arranged
No credit cards or LARGE sums needed...
.....All it takes........is a little change.
