Happiness

If you look to others for your own happiness
You will always be disappointed for
Happiness has to begin
From within
You
And 
Me

Can you see the shape that the words do make
A gun ponted straight to the heart if
You do not recall the whispers 
Of The One deep
From within
You
And
Me

Thought provoking poem. So much truth in your first stanza. Interesting that you chose the shape of gun--it has me wondering why. Keep on writing! Thank you for your kind comment. Karen
