Notes About The Poem

That Someoen

When searching for the key to happiness 
It’s difficult to know exactly what to do
Sometimes I wonder if we should be looking
into our sadness too…

We should look for someone who knows our sadness
who can see the tear before it reaches our eye
for someone who accepts our sadness
who knows it’s okay to cry.

For someone who understand us
who can read our changing mood…or tone
who knows when we want to be held
and when we want to be left alone.

For someone who understands sadness has its own schedule
who knows what is at stake
someone who will sit beside us…and hold our hand
no matter how long we take.

For someone who knows when it comes to sadness
this lesson they have learned:
It is only through patience and love and understanding
that happiness will return.

And if you’re lucky you will find your happiness…
You’ll find that someone who
all the while you were looking for them
they were looking for you.
