Happiness

Happiness
Kevin Davis 2026

Do you spend each day seeking true happiness? 
Do you kindle the fire inside with kindness? 
A life without warmth grows heavy and difficult— 
Without these gifts, the heart turns empty, indifferent.

Each of us must find our joy in our own way; 
This is the quiet work we return to every day. 
So, when I rise, I tend the good within my life— 
For without that tending, my days fill with anger and strife.
