From The Mind of Merc - Lost Wisdom

Sometimes I find my mind wandering over various eclectic topics and occasionally I am inspired to write some of them down. Today I was thinking about the wisdom of a certain well-known and loved public figure who we have recently lost and it got me wondering...

Is happiness, the greatest gift that we possess?

Should we thank the Lord when we’ve been blessed with more than our share of happiness?

Is this old world a wonderful place?

Are we the luckiest people in the whole human race when we’ve got no silver and we’ve got no gold and just a whole lot of happiness in our souls?

Is happiness an ocean tide?

Or a sunset fading on a mountain side?

Or maybe a big old heaven full of stars up above when we’re in the arms of the one we love?

Is happiness a field of grain lifting its face to the falling rain?

Can we see it in the sunshine?

Breathe it in the air?

Is happiness everywhere?

Would a wise old man tell us one time that happiness is nothing but a frame of mind and when we go to measuring our success that we shouldn’t count money but happiness because happiness is the greatest gift that we possess and we should thank the Lord when we’ve been blessed with more than our share of happiness

I think the answer to all the above is unequivocably yes.
