Happiness

A short poem about happiness...as I was reminded by my Mother.

The gentle wind caresses her face

Reminding her she's alive.

A sense of hope reaches deep within

Coaxing her soul to shine.

 

She looks around

And sees the happiness within her grasp.

She remembers the words told to her

"Be happy with what you have."

 

The sunlight seeps warmth into her mind.

The world takes on an irridescent glow.

She realizes now, happiness isn't elusive..

She need only look at what she's been bestowed.

I am touched by the sincerity of this one...really so very true and anyone who reads this, leaves the page with a smile on lips
if i am not happy today in small things, tomorrow there would be NO joy...

On this subject, someone once told me to think of a happy dog, wagging its tail, jumping, running, just happy to be alive. As you've reminded us here, It doesn't take much to be happy if you're of a mind to.
