It is a feeling that fills the soul
With warmth and light, a gentle glow
That lifts the spirits and makes us whole
A state of mind that we all know
Some find it in the simple things
A smile, a hug, a kind word
Some seek it in the joys it brings
A song, a book, a hummingbird
Some create it with their own hands
A painting, a poem, a garden
Some share it with their fellow humans
A gift, a help, a pardon
Happiness is not a destination
But a journey that we take
It is not a fixed equation
But a choice that we make
With warmth and light, a gentle glow
That lifts the spirits and makes us whole
A state of mind that we all know
Some find it in the simple things
A smile, a hug, a kind word
Some seek it in the joys it brings
A song, a book, a hummingbird
Some create it with their own hands
A painting, a poem, a garden
Some share it with their fellow humans
A gift, a help, a pardon
Happiness is not a destination
But a journey that we take
It is not a fixed equation
But a choice that we make
