Where we find our happiness


HE FINDS IT IN FAMILY

His spouses radiant smile
How their silly jokes makes his day
His childrens innocent laughter
How they look at the world with wonder

Their presence alone brings him meaning


SHE FINDS IT IN THE UNIVERSE

Discovering the mountains
It challenges her resolve
Discovering the deep seas
It suprises her over and over
Discovering the universe
It will always keep on giving

Its abundance of unknown gives her drive


HE FINDS IT IN HIS LEGACY

Passed down knowledge
He knows he's a master in his trait
Passed down pride
He has the capacity to help others
Passed down love
He feels his ancestors support always

Their hard work gives him pride to live


SHE FINDS IT IN THE LITTLE THINGS

A text
She's surrounded by loved ones
A hot coffee
Warming her to her core
A sunrise
Always a new day to look forward to

Everything passed survival gives her soul comfort


HE FINDS IT IN HIMSELF

Always tomorrow
a chance to be even better
Always a goal
a chance to feel pride
Always someone to help
a chance to be useful

His strive gives him pride in himself


Different reasons for happiness
All happy nonetheless

Different reasons for living
All happy to be alive
