I’ve been searching so long for…
Happiness
A gift I’ve wished to receive
I failed to notice that happiness comes not
With what we have
Yet in what we all
Believe
I’ve failed to know that happiness is not
What your condition is
Or what your state
I’ve learned happiness is something
That everyone on their own must
Create
I’ve looked inside but only could see
Pain stretching so far
I’ve learned that it’s not the hurt you see inside
But it’s what you focus on
That makes who you
Are
I’ve grabbed onto each fleeting moment of joy
Praying it won’t slip past
I’ve learned not to survive those moments
But to make each one
Last
I’ve wished to make each moment one
Of just happy smiling eyes
I’ve learned that at times its still okay
To let yourself just
Cry
I’ve tried so hard to implant each lesson
And live everything I was told
I’ve learned sometimes it’s not what you do
It’s letting life itself
Unfold
I’ve thought I gained a whole new world
With satisfaction guaranteed
I’ve learned fullness comes with what you have inside
And not with things you
Need
I’ve found that happiness comes from growing
With becoming greater each new day
I’ve learned joy is gift we all can attain
But the first step we must take is
Pray
