All Roads to Happiness

Accidental Poet



 

On the road of life

Many destinations you’ll see

Trips you’ll take over the years

Many a favorite nominee

 

The rising and setting Sun

And magnetic pull of the moon

Fascination of your heart

Delivering a smile none too soon

 

A baby’s first words

The wag of a puppy’s tail

The smile from your first love

A letter received in the mail

 

Help someone in need

Give to someone who has not

Pay it forward

Don’t let it be an afterthought

 

In life, find a road

That inspires your own art

All roads to happiness

Pass through your heart

      Thank you Teddy, I'm thrilled you love the first stanza. This poem actually began at the end. The last two lines from my Muse. 😊

        All these happy roads, and me with KP stuck on the road to misery! πŸ™‚ My theme song has become 'We're on the road to nowhere'. lol.

            Lovely words, AP. I saw a tiny puppy this morning. His owner says he was freaked out by the noise of the cars, bless him.

            • Accidental Poet

              Hope he doesn't try to counter act that by chasing the cars when he gets older. πŸ˜₯

                You know it is the little things in life that can gift the most joy. You have given some wonderful examples. We have to learn to grow and nurture our own happiness in life. A wise poem AP. Have a wonderful Tuesday.

                • Accidental Poet

                  Thanks Cassie. So true, happiness doesn't just happen, you do need to grow and make it happen. Hope your Tuesday is a beautiful day too. πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘

                    wag more, bark less. Well, I know you know what I mean, that I know what you mean and you know what I mean. Suddenly I'm feeling dizzy. 🫀

                    A beautiful message that more people need to hear and take notice of. Nicely set to rhyme and with a good flow.

                    • Accidental Poet

                      Thanks soren, if more people could focus on the good things in life, I believe they'd spend less time arguing and finding reason to hate each other. πŸ€”

                      Pass through your heart... brilliant

                      • Accidental Poet

                        Thank you Alan for reading and your compliment. Those last two lines were the beginning of this poem, but as I wrote it, they ended up bringing up the rear. 😊

                          • Bella Shepard

                            I read this poem with a sigh of contentment. You've captured in verse the very foundation of a happy life. Being mindful of each moment, and selflessness in helping others. It is a regemin for good mental and physical health, which no doctor can prescribe. Thank you dear poet, for your oh so insightful words. I just loved this!!




                            • Accidental Poet

                              And I just loved your response Bella. It's always so gratifying when you know that what you write really is understood by those who read it. This poem began with the last two lines. πŸ˜‰
