    Happiness

    happiness is
    finding money in your jeans
    that you havent worn in months...
    happiness is fitting into those same jeans
    that you couldnt fit into for the last couple months
    happiness is seeing loved ones laughing
    even when their laughing at you
    or with you
    happiness is the satisfaction
    of a job well done
    seeing your completed work
    and knowing that you did your best
    you persevered
    you didnt listen to those...
    who told you that you would never succeed
    instead you trusted
    that you could do
    what  you set your mind to do
    and you did
    happness is taking the chance
    knowing you might not succeed
    but also knowing that you were blessed
    just to have the chance to try
    happiness is looking back at your life
    and seeing the highs and lows
    and being satisfied
    that they worked together
    to create the landscape of your life
    happiness is
    realizing that the love you passed on to others
    is still in circulation today
    being passed from person to person
    living on in everyone you touched
    forever.

    Thank you so much, and I totally agree with you. Happiness can be manifested in multiple ways! I try to find it in everything I do !!!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
