A QUICK THOUGHT ON HAPPINESS

Some people are always searching for happiness….
they look up, down…all around
as if happiness is a buried treasure…waiting to be found.

But what if we are already filled with happiness
and our heart is where we store it…
and once it is discovered 
we find there’s no need searching for it.

Sometimes that happiness is hiding in our heart 
and may be difficult to find
Hiding on the other side of a door…
we’ve yet to look behind.

Sometimes it may be silenced
when grief and sorrow fill the air…
but if we’re patient…over time
we find happiness is waiting there

And once we’re blessed to discover the happiness in our heart
in every cranny…crevice and nook 
we tend to discover happiness
everywhere we look.
