Search Not Happiness, Let It Come Itself-W

Enjoyed life fullest
Happiness not gained but earned
Muse on, no regrets.

Felt God’s bounty
Seen lands, countries and cultures
Received love from people
Whom I loved and who loved me
Happy with kids and grandkids.

Took life as it is
Not expected things yet got
All good things of life.


===========================================

12th place win in the contest
Contest: Harvest of Happiness in Honor of Linda, the Sweetheart of PS

very enjoyable style and message. there is an old greek expression, "the Gods go with you if you put yourself in their path" - your high level of sensitivity (in all of your works) is apparent and appreciated and your rewards deserved. thank u, chuck
