I welcome the known happiness
Felt in the past somewhere in time
When again they show up their face
I know them from their trodden roads’ grime!
I welcome the known happiness
That once visited my address
When they are back on my door
After years’ recess!
Welcome old happiness I tell them
Hug them and dust off their travels’ grime
It’s not dead yet is burning the flame
Of my hope you would be back one more time!
They stay with me like good old mates
Tell me they regret they were off for so long
Hail me for having not closed mind’s gates
Then leave me leaving the trail of their song!
