Stealing Happiness From Every Second Of A Moment's Time-Frame

Who would ever complain about

Losing out

On any aspect of life

Along as we conduct ourselves

In a civil manner

On the account of meekness

Jealousy & Selfishness

Would become lies

Towards a less painful truth

Vanity has now become

A destitute factor

Used to inch everyone closer

Into plain view

Of what our lives

Could resemble

Once we're in the midst's

Of greener pastures

Within our finest hour

Stealing Happiness From Every Second Of A Moment's Time-Frame

Remains a coveted honor

For what lies ahead

In the future

Of our past lives

Upon us

Author's Note

Upon us -- for me, these were the most powerful lines...they really made me think, which led me back to the crux of your content.

We do all seek that momentary happiness; that deliverance from the mundane and in as such escaping from the inevitable passing of time. We must wring every drop of happiness and joy out of each moment we encounter, because you never really know how many moment you have. Interesting piece, my friend!

There is joy in every moment, and we are wise to seek it. Thoughtful piece, BP.
