PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I've found simple steps I want to share

Making life's journey easier to bear.

Happiness is not a destination,

Not a figment of one's imagination.

Nor the result of any happenstance,

Rather a choice, giving laughter a chance.

Lifting another's spirit, you lift your own.

Remember, you are never alone.

Reflect, focus on the splendor of a star filled sky,

With childlike innocence, in dreams you fly,

Marvel at the beauty, might and majesty

Of waves in the ocean or a great old tree.

Invite someone to share with you.

They may need some happiness too.

Never fear failure, don't be judgmental,

Forgive, don't hold a grudge, that's detrimental,

Open your heart, allow love to enter in,

Keep going forward, don't worry where you've been.

These steps make enjoying your journey simplistic.

Gaining peace, love and joy is totally realistic.

Hope is eternal, from us, it really never departs.

As long as there's life, it exists in our hearts.
