TRUE HAPPINESS

True happiness and peace of mind
Are often sought in vain
Through personal ties, which only bind
And never can sustain.

But when at last we flee from these
And turn from sense to Soul,
We find our yearning set at ease;
Discern the long-sought goal.

How peaceful is the Way apart
From mortal strain and stress;
How happy is the loving heart
That reaches out to bless!

Margaret Ruth Sandahl
