Love and happiness

Songs and poems often say exactly what we want to ourselves. You realise every time that our feelings and emotions when we care about someone are the same, that we want the best for those we care about . It has been like this since time began and centuries of love songs and poems tell us how essential and important these feelings are to the human soul.
Here is one of my favourite songs that says what I feel, it might make you cry, so beware.

Love and happiness, by Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris

Here's a wishing well
Here's a penny for
Any thought it is
that makes you smile
every diamond dream
everything that brings
love and happiness
to your life

here's a rabbit's foot
take it when you go
So you'll always know
you're safe from harm
wear your ruby shoes
when you're far away
so you'll always stay
home in your heart

you will always have a lucky star
that shines because of what you are
even in the deepest dark
because your aim is true
and if I could only have one wish
darling, then it would be this
love and happiness for you

here's a spinning wheel
use it once you've learned
there's a way to turn
the straw to gold
here's a rosary
count on every bead
with a prayer to keep
the hope you hold

you will always have a lucky star
that shines because of what you are
even in the deepest dark
because your aim is true
and if I could only have one wish
darling, then it would be this
love and happiness for you
and if I could only have one wish
darling, then it would be this
love and happiness for you.
