Happiness is parasailing...except if scared like me
A Poem by
Allen Smuckler
Peace on
earth is guaranteed, but how can it be free
Peace on
earth is warranteed, but not for you and me
Love may come
it often goes, but can we be without
Love your
friends as well as foes
, but understand the doubt
Happiness may
be a part
, of everything we do
Happiness is
just a start
, it need just start with you
Equal rights
for all mankind, it sounds so sound to say
Equal rights
we’ve been so blind
, we have to find our way
Freedom is as
freedom was
, we sing it all the time
Freedom
rings it always does
, as freedom bells will chime...

I love the patriotic feel to this and the message of love for our fellow man that this
eloquent write has given me. I think the answer to every riddle to world peace and happy existence with each other as a whole, is all within these lines you have penned for us.

Love may come it often goes, but can we be without
Love your friends as well as foes
, but understand the doubt
LOVE THE HIDDEN INNER RHYME SCHEME!

Well Mr S - I'm game if you are (insert 'pheasant' joke) - parasailing? Skydiving? And any other road to freedom? Much happiness to you, wherever you may find it -x-

Nice rhyming scheme here! I like the repetition and important message held within. The font could be a little larger though........

Beautiful Allen, I love the line, "Love may come it often goes, but can we be without" how fitting, and how right this is. Love is very important in our lives, along with happiness and peace and equality. Your writing reminds us of these special gifts that are free for us to give and receive, and the beauty of this fact.
Excellent write as always.> excellent structure as well
