"In hidden corners of the heart, it's found,
Happiness, a treasure deep, unbound.
Not in fleeting moments or distant shores,
But within, where its essence soars.
It's not a destination on a far-off chart,
But a journey, a dance, a work of art.
In laughter's echo, in a warm embrace,
Happiness resides, a tender grace.
Not in possessions or wealth untold,
But in the love and stories we unfold.
In simple pleasures, in nature's sound,
Happiness, my friend, is truly found.
In the smile of a child, so pure and bright,
In starry skies that adorn the night.
In a helping hand, a friendship true,
Happiness blossoms, like morning's dew.
It dwells in kindness, in forgiveness' glow,
In the strength to let the past's burdens go.
In gratitude for what we have around,
Happiness, you see, is always found.
It's not in a distant, elusive chase,
But in the present, in each moment's grace.
In every heartbeat, in every breath,
Happiness emerges, conquers death.
So seek it not in far-off lands,
But right where you are, where life expands.
In the tapestry of moments, tightly wound,
Happiness, dear soul, is truly found."
*Happiness surrounds us, we just need to freshen our minds and soul and look the world with a positive sight.
