On what rests your happiness?
Is it apt to come and go
like some fleeting thought
that refuses to be caught?
On what rests your happiness?
Is it health and wealth?
Those two great desires
where prayers are heaped, well every hour.
On what rests your happiness?
Is it your loved ones
Close at hand and
who oft forget your loving sound?
On what rests your happiness?
Is it a warm blue sky with
gentle lapping waves
to caress away the stress?
Perhaps one day we will find
an answer that we all can share
and never leaves or is disturbed.
On what rests your happiness?
But if the answer excludes, just one.
You will fear that,
maybe he will come, to take away
that on which your happiness is resting.
