Happiness
by Lupe Tafoya

I'd like to share my happiness with others.

Happiness to me is the Lord's will...

If he sends me sickness,
I welcome it as a friend.

If he gives me health,
I receive it with joy.

If I have nothing to eat,
I fast gladly to clear my sins
and those of others.

If I have enough clothes for myself,
I think of my Savior naked in the crib
and on the cross.

If I suffer on Earth,
I shall be happier for all of eternity.

I desire nothing
but to do His Holy Will.

That is what happiness means to me.
