Happiness, even in a desert, Adjusts well to what moisture it can find. Perhaps it takes a little extra effort; Perhaps one needs to keep it more in mind. Yet one must still depend on celebration, Holidays transferred from colder climes, Offering the blessing of relation, Love that takes the stage at special times. In such reunions, happiness takes root Deep enough to tap the deepest well, Alive and blooming, bearing succulent fruit, Yearning, yes, for some well-watered dell, Still satisfied with mountains, dry and mute.
