One cannot make another
happy, The sacrifice of time and strength And preference and goods may be Of help, of course, but cannot calm The winds that roil a restless sea. Everything one does, like dust, Transforms the light in which all live. But happiness is not a gift It is within one's power to give. One can only love, and be A witness to the life that each At last must live alone, for good Or ill beyond a lover's reach. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
