Authentic Happiness

When memories of your past haunts you still

Thinking of what’s ahead in your future

Be here in the moment you must in-still

Mindful of your thoughts and actions suture 



Caring and giving your all for your love

Neglecting to appreciate oneself

Love yourself first and love God from above

Put love in everything’s good in itself



Yet, how to have authentic happiness?

To be mindful of what is here and now

Live this moment and make it your business

Commit to oneself and make it a vow!

To appreciate and love yourself first

Glorifying God and quenching your thirst!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
