My mind

In the Declaration of Independence
it says that we have a right to pursue happiness.


I pursue happiness all the time but it fights
againist me and runs the other way.

Have you ever tried to reach for the perfect piece of fruit on the tree?
You can barely touch it but you can't put your hands on it to bring it down to put in your mouth to savor the sweetest thereof.

That's the way life does me everyday.
I can compare it with going through Elementary School and when I finally figure everything out then I'm out to Junior High.

I finally get the hang of Junior High and off I go to High School with even more kids.
And yes, I figure High School out then out the door I go.

With everything in life by the time I figure it out I'm out the door.

Can something be easy for a change or will I on my death bed feel like I have everything figured out and then I die before I can share the secret that life has hidden by me at this very moment?
