Memories Of Happiness

See a glimpse of happiness,
swirl around inside my brain.
Love and joy a faint memory,
over shadowed by much pain.

Remember a woman of laughter,
full of warm smiles and sunshine.
Thinking back now I sit and cry,
happiness is no longer mine.

It always knocks on my door,
and I would always let it in.
Before too long it disappears,
then heartache and sorrow begin.

None saved for a rainy day,
I squandered happiness away.
Never getting much in return,
fleeting it never meant to stay.

To think of love and joy once had,
and rainbows never to be found.
As happiness leaves in walks sad,
weeping replaces the joyful sound.
