Happiness

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 the 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’ve been blessed?”
“Why would I search for something....” he smiled.

“That all this time…I have possessed?”
