Your House Of Happiness

Your House of Happiness

Take what God gives , O friend of mind
And build your house of happiness .
Perchance some have been given more ,
But many have been given loss .
The treasure lying at your feet ,
Whose value you but faintly guess ,
Another builder looking on ,
Would barter heaven to possess .
Have you found work that you can do ?
Is there a heart that loves you best ?
Is there a spot somewhere called home ,
Where spent and worn your soul can rest ?

A friend ,a tree, a book , a song ,
A dog ,which loves your hand’s caress ,
A story of health to meat life needs ,
Oh ,build your house of happiness ,
Trust not tomorrow’s dawn to bring
The dreamed of joy which we wait ,
We have enough of pleasant things
To house our souls in goodly state ,
Tomorrow , time’s relentless stream
May bear what now we have away ,
Take what God gives ,O friend ,
And build your house of happiness today.
