MY HAPPINESS

Fall and birds

all friends scattered

her phone calls say all is fine.

Old mother

still cares as always

Dark sky but no hint of rain.

Star reader

warns me of deceit

she is worried about me.

So much work

I have to attend

my faith in God sustains me.

From childhood

Life has been like this

except for some happy times.

My beloved

is not beside me

so the load is heavier.

I love rains

as they are tidings

of mercy from the Greatest*.

Lovelier

all this would have been

if my beloved one were here.

She is joy

kindness and hope

with her lies my happiness.
