Happiness

By Maimoonah MK

Happiness is what we are born for,

It is the feeling that every soul longs for,

The definition of happiness is long forgotten,

It doesn’t come from wealth or fame, for these ideas of finding happiness have to be aborted,

Delve into the past and reminisce those moments when you were doing a jumping jack in a muddy puddle or making sand castles and giving your furry friend a lovely cuddle,

The meaning of happiness remains the same, for it is found in those little moments when you are fully aware,

The toys may have become bigger and heavier and play might have turned into chores and struggles,

But the meaning of joy that comes from those bigger toys can remain the same if you perceive your struggles through the same lens of that child that you once were – who was never in a race.
