What Makes You Happy

What makes you happy?
You questioning nature
or your quest for knowledge?
Is it that walk in the forest
or the feel of water as you swim?
If not your desire to travel
does reading make you happy?
Whatever it is, don't stop

What makes you happy?
You say socializing does not
but have you tried meditating?
I hear you hate yoga
maybe you will love some workout
Watching movies bores you
some music might heal or so a podcast!
Whatever makes you happy, don't stop

What makes you happy?
A blunt with your friends
or a drink with a family member?
A full belly with some change to keep
or greeting a total stranger in the streets?
Whatever is making you happy, don't stop!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Happiness is like love. It can be hard to find and harder to hold onto. I enjoyed the read, Julius.
