Chasing Rainbows
Listen to poem:
I'll be happy when I reach my goal.
Meanwhile I'm sad because
I'm not even close to getting there.
Why postpone happiness
and make it dependent on
goals and changes needed
to get the rewards they bring?
It is so self-defeating, a poor excuse!
I can be happy now,
with what I've got now,
with whom I am now,
enjoying the journey,
instead of chasing rainbows.
