\nWhat makes me smile?
\nIs it fame and money in an enormous pile?
\nBecoming smart, rich and experiencing success?
\nThese must be the providers of my happiness.
\nEveryone will be my friend and all will respect me
\nI will rejoice and laugh with all this popularity<\/p>\n
But one day after all I want is bought
\nI lose that smile and all that money runs out
\nRespect and fame will be temporary
\nOnce jealousy and hatred of others leave me wary
\nBest of friends will lose their trust
\nRomance of true loves will turn out to be lust
\nAnd all my accomplishments will become a bust<\/p>\n
So then what makes my heart sing?
\nFor I am not happy with material things
\nLoved and adored ones come and go
\nThus incapable of filling a space so vastly hollow
\nMoney, fame, family, nor a friend
\nCan guarantee my smile until this short- life’s end<\/p>\n
So am I capable of eternal happiness?
\nI dry my eyes and confidently say yes!
\nBecause when the money runs out and people go
\nI still have You Amma, and Your compassion to show
\nFor when I am sad, scared or acting strange
\nYou will comfort me, sinceYour love can never change
\nAnd at the end of this life, I strongly believe
\nYou will be there smiling at me, refusing to leave.<\/p>\n
