Today’s word is “riant” ... rahy-uhnt ... laughing; smiling; cheerful. (Dictionary.com)
Fine
If everything was perfect,
All blue and sunny skies,
Perfect health and wisdom,
Riant happiness, no lies,
If all your friends were truly,
Full of loyalty,
And you were treated every day,
Like some sort of royalty,
Would you know of sadness,
Of suffering or pain,
Would compassion pour free from you,
With no ordinary strain?
Or is pain only recognized,
When compared to health,
And poverty a detriment,
When compared to wealth?
Maybe we are like the moon,
Our dark side obvious,
Compared to the reflected light
Of the sun that shines on us.
