Happiness

By Debborah Jensen

Everyone wants to be happy, this sought after holy grail.

Happiness to me is thankfulness, this side of the veil.

An attitude of graditude, being content with what I have,

Being happy for my family, my home, is a soul's salve.

When I am feeling blue, and wollowing in self pity,

Happiness is the soft fur, of my purring kitty.

It's people who love me, no matter how I act.

Life without love isn't happy that's a fact.

Happyness is like the tide, it rushes in and out.

just as hard to hold, you don't chase it if you're smart.

It's changing your mind, when negative thoughts invade.

Living positively, mastering your mind, so you are not enslaved.

There are so many things that make one happy, they are to long to list.

I find a truely happy person is one who follows their bliss.

That lives their life with bravery, selflessness and love.

Happiness is inside you, it's not given from above.

So dear friend here is the end of my happiness poem,

I hope it will give you lots of thoughts, and make you happy when alone.
