Road to Happiness
Somewhere in the clouds on a darkest night
A star twinkled with its brightest light
I wondered the silence of the river thereby
A complete stillness prevailed nearby
No birds chirped, neither animals spoke
A gentle breeze moved to and fro
I saw a path covered with snow
The road that led to my childhood school
I recalled my past, I recalled those days
I recalled the times I passed by that road
I recalled myself playing through
My past, my friends, my teachers though
People who always helped me so
Who made me happy when I was low
I recalled the brightness of the lovely sky
The flowers, the trees, the rain, the wind
I cherished the memories of my school days
I smiled at the feelings of that sweet thought
A quite happiness prevailed in my heart
The sweet memory grew and a lovely scent flew
The road that gave me a feeling anew.
