True Happiness

by Mustang Patty

What will bring us true happiness?
Is it the sweet caress of love?
Or could it be a simple song
Sent to us from heaven above?
 
A question for the test of time
What will bring us true happiness?
Does it need to fulfill our wants?
Should we ever settle for less?
 
What about our deepest desire?
Will its fulfillment do the trick?
What will bring us true happiness?
In its pursuit, can we get sick?
 
Is this one of life's mysteries?
Is finding it a big success?
Will failure crush our very soul?
What will bring us true happiness?
