Searching

Help Yourself To Happiness

--Helen Steiner Rice--

Everybody, everywhere

seeks happiness, it's true,

But finding it and keeping it

seem difficult to do.

Difficult because we think

that happiness is found 

Only in the places where
wealth and fame abound.
And so we go on searching.

in palaces of pleasure

Seeking recognition

and monetary treasure,

Unaware that happiness 

is just a state of mind

Within the reach of everyone

who takes time to be kind.

For in making others happy

we will be happy too.

For the happiness you give away

returns to shine on you.

You've never heard something like this, have you? All of these words are quite novel ideas ;)

Funny how we can forget though. 

There is a way to do some small good for someone else, doesn't matter where you're at.
