Happiness

Happiness is a direction

That can change destination

No matter which way I turn

No matter which fork I choose

Happiness flows through

I can feel it in my heart

I can feel it in my bones

I am determined to

Have happiness by my side

Along on my journey

It is meant to be

A direction

Or more subjectively

The direction for me

Inspired by

Life

Once I was unsure of myself. Once I didn’t feel I belonged anywhere. Once I was lonely and craved friendship. Once I cried often. Once I was lost in a big world. You have something to do with what I am and how I feel, and with my outlook and passion. At times I feel lonely, but I’ve known love. At times I feel inadequate, but I have a quiet confidence that I am okay. At times I cry, but I know tomorrow will be another day. And then there are times I inspire others. Life is good – and powerful.

On the raft we jetted

Over the water blue

We were secure in life vests

Lest the waves flip our boat

We went out into the open

With Mom and Dad and friends

Letting our hair fly in the current

And our faces covered in mist

That’s what we do in warm weather

Having fun with water and sun

That may be the highlight of the season

But we also love to run

On the soccer field we score

On the rocking wall we climb

In the swimming pool we splash

In the green tractors we ride

At the park we do pull-ups

At the zoo we feed the goats

Under the water sprays we play

Over our heads the sky is blue

In each other’s arms we embrace

We have reasons to enjoy each day 

Love

Life is a journey

Sprinkled with love

Some falls softly

Some endures

Some gently caresses

Some touches deeply

Some lingers

Some brushes by

Some gives a smile

Some inspires

Some breaks a heart

Some mends a soul

If you leave the journey

I’ll keep your love

Pure and simple

Love pulls me close

To inner peace

I miss you so
