A Poem by Miss Roberta Linn:

HAPPINESS
Happiness is like a beautiful butterfly with many colors
It floats in and out of our lives as a butterfly does
Silently landing on the petals of our lives
******
Sometimes it lingers for a while enjoying its relationship with the petal
But there are times when it barely lands before it must fly away
And the petal waits, waits alone
Hoping that the beautiful butterfly will find its way back soon
Oh, make it soon!
Make it soon!
