THE SEARCH

 

One man searched for happiness.

He traveled far and wide.

He wanted to experience happiness

at least once...before he died.

 

He visited many cities,

he hiked the mountains,

he walked along many a beach.

Yet the happiness he so desperately sought

seemed to hover out of reach.

 

He never found his happiness…

many who seek it...never can,

and after years of searching for it...

he died…an unhappy man.

 

Another man never searched for happiness

yet he found it every day

in the myriad of things and people

he met along his way.

 

“How is it you’ve never searched for happiness” he was asked,

“but with happiness you have been blessed?”

“Why would I search for something....” he smiled.

“That all this time…I have possessed?”
