A life can be so full of peace and joy,

But everyone has something that they want,

Whether it be some material toy

Or world peace, the thing that so many won't

Forgo is love. It wanes, much like the moon

Or the four seasons, weather e'er changing.

Many search it out, want it to come soon,

Like a treasure hunter, always searching.

Just like our archaeological friends,

Most never find it by looking for it.

Sometimes the journey must come to an end

Before the correct pathway becomes lit

So through all the years of search and of muck

There is one thing that never fails. Give up.
