Le Happy

source

I went in search of

Happiness,

Searching the world

For a little patch

Where I may revel 

In complete and total

Happiness.

On a side street

In a small French town.

I found it, Happy

That is. A bright yellow

Store front with the 

Words Le Happy

Written on the wall

And the window.

But it was not what

I thought it would be.

It was happy but 

It was not the type

Of happy I was looking for.

So I walked past Le Happy,

And went in search of 

My version of happiness.

A happiness that is a mix

Of good novels and spicy

Pizza, of rainy days and 

Long hugs. 

Happiness

For me is not found

In stores and places

But in my heart, 

In my interactions,

In my triumphs even

Though I failed so

Many times before.

I stopped searching 

For Happiness,

I create it and 

Embrace it.
