Contented Happiness.

Goldfinch60



In life we always seek happiness,

With happiness come blessings.

They are in our reach

As if you are content with what you have

You are wise

As you do not wish for what you do not have.

So the same with happiness,

It is like a butterfly,

If you chase it

You will not catch it,

But if you are happy,

Happy with what you have

That butterfly will sit,

Sit upon your shoulder.

So do not chase happiness

Or wish for that you don’t have,

Be content with what you have

And happiness will be with you .
