Advice

Let me tell ya,
Bein' happy ain't no
Stroll through daisies
It's hard
Work no matter how you go
Well, maybe half a'that
Might be stubborness
And I would know!
But contentment, now,
I can't see how you'd mess
That one up, if it comes--
It's not like you can
Make it up, or will it, so--
Just gotta accept it.
I'm tellin' ya, ain't nothin'
Better found
No matter how far ya go
If ya find it, stick close
As to a lake
In a wildfire.
You grab at it, it'll be gone
Trust me, I know!
Just enjoy it
Let it come with you
Wander the world with  you, so
Ain't like that's a chore
'Cept if you treat it like happiness
And try to work it
Force it
That contentment will be
Nigh worried to death
Howsoever, you leave it be, so
It'll stay put
For somethin'like that just is--
And it's somethin', let me tell ya.
