My Poem

   Theme: Happiness

 What many people wish they knew:

How can the day be so long?

She asked herself some time ago

Why do things keep going wrong?

The answer was what she did not know.

God, please help my find my way,

I fear my fate is flying away

To reach a place of love and bliss

And help me conquer my dredful illness

Later on her prayers were answered,

In a way only she could see,

Although her health has not been altered

She was able find what she truly seeked

 People wondered day and night,

How can someone, once so lost

Find their path and be so bright

Many people went and asked her

She gave them all the exact same answer

Life isn’t always fair

Happiness comes from within,

It cannot be offered it cannot be sought,

It cannot be given it cannot be bought

You can’t look back at what could have been,

Instead look at the things that make you smile,

When you’ve been down for a while,

Look beyond the imperfections

Choose to look at different directions

Only then will it find you too

That’s what many people wish they knew.
