I crave a little happiness
to cheer my twilight years.
She says I have no right to it;
I’ve caused too many tears.
I pray for peace and joyfulness
to visit me a while.
She says, for sweet serenity
I’ve been too vain and vile.
She also says I’ve sinned away
the day of God’s good grace,
that when true love was offered me,
I laughed in true love’s face.
I don’t deny this guilt of mine;
I have a fatal flaw,
but though I don’t have angel wings;
I’m not the devil’s whore!
And I have been more sinned against
in life, as man and youth,
so I deserve some happiness
and that’s the gospel truth!

We are all deserving of some happiness to light the evening of our time on this world. Others may only see of us that which is in front of them. Whilst much more happened when they were not around.
That happiness is due to us all and I am sure that it is with you Kevin.
