Happiness in small things

It is pointless to want more in the search for happiness. A bigger car, a cooler mobile, a more prestigious job. What next? I choose the vector to less... To get pleasure and be happy from little. What next? To be happy not because there is a lot, but because nothing is needed... just... just happy.

Lord, I ask you for one thing
Protect my heart from pain.
And reason, so as not to end up in a madhouse...
No, willpower alone is not enough...

Help, I'm on fire from within,
Sleep flows from the eyes into the pillow,
I fall asleep with a swollen face
While praying in your ear.

I ask you for one thing -
Permission to be happy!
Wife, children and our home,
Where I will be loved and dear...
