True Happiness

True happiness, elusive yet profound,

Is not in fleeting pleasures found.

It dwells within the depths of soul,

In moments where we feel whole.

It's not in wealth or worldly gain,

Nor in the echoes of fleeting fame.

True happiness, a sacred quest,

In simple joys, we find it best.

It's in the laughter of a child at play,

In the dawn of a brand-new day.

In kindness shared and love's embrace,

In moments of serenity and grace.

It's in the beauty of a sunset's glow,

In the whispering winds that gently blow.

In the warmth of friendship's light,

In the stars that shimmer in the night.

True happiness, a journey within,

Unfolding as we shed our skin.

In embracing life with open heart,

In finding peace in every part.

It's in the courage to be true,

To follow dreams, both old and new.

In resilience when storms arise,

In seeing beauty through tear-filled eyes.

It's in gratitude for each breath we take,

In the choices we make, the paths we make.

In embracing flaws, accepting grace,

In living fully, in every trace.

True happiness, a radiant flame,

In which we find our hearts aflame.

In moments shared and memories made,

In living fully, unafraid.

So seek not happiness in distant lands,

For it resides within your hands.

In the present moment, here and now,

True happiness, you shall endow.
