Happiness
"Happiness comes from happenings."
That's what the preacher said-
Whether it is something you expect
To see and hear or something
Spontaneously done or said.
But if nothing is happening,
Where is the happiness?
It's waiting for someone or thing
In hopes of what's ahead.
But true joy is down in your soul
And will overflow instead
Of being dormant
When nothing's seen or heard;
Joy makes things happen
To where others will be led.
