In Pursuit of happiness

I look at lines on hands that feel,
And before bed , i gently kneel
And look to night skies and the heavens above
Silent thanks  for the ones that i love.

Then closing my eyes i think alot
On life and love and what ive got
And where i want to go from here
All my hopes and all my fears.

Please …i say when words i find
 exposing the wants of heart and mind
let me be worthy, keep me safe
shield me from this , im not that brave.

Happy is all i ever want for mine
On a table that overflows do i wish to dine .
Not so much that makes for selfish pride
Not so little that makes be hide.

This is my prayer . I am in pursuit of happiness.
