Prayer of Happiness

We all have a journey to finish
We all have to pick pearls amidst pebbles
We meet new souls on the way
out of whom, some teach, some stay.
You may be an angel in someone's story
You may be a blot in another's
But, every heart you see, beats similarly, 
finding it's way to anything that feels like paradise.
It may hurt when you lose touch
You may love another summer
But when on the road
Walking towards your ultimate goal,
Remember to take breaks to feel gratitude
towards every single wonderful hand you held once
For my friend, that's what the prayer of 
happiness is all about.
