Happiness
Cassidy Melczak
Happiness is a two-edged sword
Wielded awkwardly like a board
Peace and joy, hope and love
Gently grace falls like a dove
The other edge somewhat darker indeed
Trapped by war, hate, darkness, and greed
For when you are high you must fall
As so must we, like the stars, like us all
Now what help have against our plight
Must we see the day only to fall to the night
No! Grab a dream and hold on for a ride
Like a life-line held tightly by your side
