The Secret of Happiness
(Click square button above to turn off video)
One scarce can tell the value of a kind and giving soul
as along this craggy pilgrim path we all essay to go.
How many heroes have been lifted to their place of glory
by nameless hands of love and kindness that never make the story.
Hidden in the shadowy backdrop of life’s unfolding stage
rare are those unselfish souls that reckon love for wage.
As stars upon a velvet sky, or lamps in the dismal night
these flames of warmth and kindness are what make our journey bright.
Not one has ever reached the place of happiness or success
without the aid of one of these to find strength, comfort and rest.
On this meandering mortal road nothing can be certain
but one thing we know for sure, there is a final curtain.
When all is finished – with nothing left to be said
the dreams for which we spent ourselves are now fulfilled or dead.
We’ll stand before the glorious throne of the True and Righteous King
the Judge of all the earth and of whom the angels sing.
And in that moment we’ll discover the treasure and the worth
of those dear souls that gave of themselves while here upon the earth.
Ponder the moment when His loving hands are reaching out to thee
saying when you loved your neighbor as yourself – you did it unto Me.
