Happiness

Happiness can belong to
Anyone, but
Particularly to those who pursue it.
People who seek happiness
In life know 
No other pursuit brings such joy,
Embraces life so fully, and
Shines out to others
So effectively.

I think it should be uppermost in our minds as we plod our way through our older years. Who would want to leave this world sad???

Yes, I think that is something of a universal goal, Kim. Thanks!

So true, Milton! People who pursue happiness, embracing life fully, find it and radiate it to others. A beautiful Acrostic !
