PARADE OF HAPPINESS

She sits in the dark wondering why

her loves seems to always die. 

 

Some are destine to succeed

they lead the parade of happiness. 

 

She wants to jump on a float

wave to the crowd

 

saying "I'm in love!"

out loud. 

 

But that dream is not near

instead far away

 

so she sits in the dark 

holding her heart

with empty hands. 

By Lynn Hahn
