MY SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS
I searched for happiness in a smiling face
I searched for happiness in a warm embrace
I searched for happiness in a kiss of passion
I searched for happiness in light affection
I searched for happiness in fortune and fame
I searched for happiness in material gain
I searched for happiness in following a dream
I searched for happiness in a sporting team
I searched for happiness in a friendly companion
I searched for happiness in a marriage union
I searched for happiness in reaching a goal
I searched for happiness in careers to unfold
Happiness in others, in man is a season not to last
Happiness in things, in treasures will soon be past
Happiness I found is a matter within one’s own heart
Happiness I found only God to the spirit can impart
Sidonia
(This poem I wrote when during counselling I realised so many people look for happiness outside of themselves and this made me reflect on where true happiness comes from.....a relationship with God through Jesus Christ)
