[Poem] Happiness

 

Happiness is not a thing

That comes and goes with time.

It is a state of being

That you can choose to find.

 

It is not found in material things

Or in the praise of others.

It is found in the simple things

That make your heart sing.

 

It is found in the love of family and friends

In the beauty of nature

And in the joy of helping others.

 

So if you are looking for happiness

Don't search for it outside yourself.

It is already within you

Waiting to be discovered.
