Choosing Happiness

It is indeed a worthy pursuit,                                                                                                                                              but it's not a morning commute.
That it's even achievable, some would dispute.                                                                                                              But those who do deserves a most joyous salute.
No, it cannot be created by the sound of my voice.
But yes, my happiness has a lot to do with my choice.
To some, it disappears as quickly as the morning dew.                                                                                                       It's reality varies, because there are many points of view.
Calm and solace; peace and poise; or even silence is involved;                                                                                                 but if one truly has it, temporal matters will not easily dissolve
true happiness; nor does material possessions make it possible.                                                                           Sadness is a pricy package of life, but being happy is still affordable.
