Research Says
Research says happiness lies more
In the anticipation
than in the act itself
could be
but I don't think so
between you and me,
if this be fact
there would much more happiness
than acts
in life's game which is
mostly
wait and see.
Life's Expectations
When life's expectations
match reality,
we're happiest, they say,
then lowest is the best,
for any reaching up
may disappoint.
High expectations for
a splendid life
could be a trap, but,
somehow going low
seems not a match
to reaching for a star
to catch.
This Fame
This fame you're craving so
what is it for?
Is it the dough
or love's embrace
man, lover, or God's grace,
legacy of the brave
beyond the grave,
and is it worth what,
squat.
