There’s a greek word called “Eudaimonia”

that refers to a “good spirit”

Some might call it “happiness”

but that doesn’t even come near it

Happiness is ephemeral,

a slave to circumstance

It’s a roll of dice in your day-to-day,

an emotion left to chance

“Good spirit” is a lifestyle

a joy that’s everlasting

It’s found in an eternal hope

that lives beyond your passing

It’s hard to live in steadfast joy

when searching on the ground

so look higher than the earthly realm

to the heavens where it’s found
