Happiness

Happiness is a fleeting thing At times it can feel like a memory something that was experienced but sadly short lived It's like a flower coming into bloom the dew droplets hanging off the petals the sweet scent of a rose hanging in the air Happiness however fleeting should be cherished like a blind person being able to see the world for the first time. A father witnessing the birth of his child. One should remember when sorrow comes your way and you feel as if everything is crumbling around you think back to those happy moments use it to lighten up those dark days remember that there is someone out there someone that has never had a happy moment to think back on someone who is suffering through worse fate than yours and in every dark cloud there is a silver lining.
