Happiness

I was searching for happiness,

I have been searching for a long time,

But I could never find it.

Sometimes I was so close-

That I thought “This is it!”

“I have found it!”

But it never stayed with me

For more than just a few moments.

Those moments are so very rare

And so very precious to me.

Then one day I knew that

This is not the right way.

I was searching for joy

In all the wrong places.

All I had to do was

Look within me and

I could have found you

Waiting to be discovered.
