Just Smile

Serenity can be found in simplicity 
Open your mind to see clearly
Everything will be alright
Even when not visible, the sun is shining bright

I know not what comes my way,
But come whatever may.
Release your weary thoughts 
Worry not about what tomorrow has yet brought

They’re merely problems not yet overcome,
Just part of life’s rhythm 
Listen closely and you’ll hear,
Tranquility’s silence is always near

Happiness is not found in perfection,
But in the process of realizing you’re but a fraction,
A single particle in a grand scheme;
A grain of sand drifting down a careless stream.

D.B., happiness just a rainbow away.. either way you see it.. The perception of finding the true meaning is found with in oneself .. well the sun is a guide and we can over come all obstacles that drift down a careless stream.. Thanks for sharing,, have a wonderful day,..Linda
