Oh Happiness!

Many a time, people think that when they are wealthy, healthy or achieve a particular milestone in their lives, then they are or can be happy.

But do you know what?

Immediately such goals are attained, they set new ones then move to the next goal they have set for themselves. They are anxious to met this new goal hence, its pursued with so much vigour! It looks like the previous achievement does not mean anything to them anymore!

 Some may say that's being ambitious. If that is the case, so where do you draw the line between ambition and happiness. Or perhaps,  in the quest of even understanding happiness and what exactly it means to us at different stages and times of our lives.

My thoughts in this poem...

We seek you in different ways

We hope to have you

We reach out for you

Oh happiness!

We seek you in our beliefs

We reach out for you in our thoughts

We look for you in our dreams

We yearn for you every stage of our lives

Oh happiness!

We put so much hope in you

We have so much faith in you

We have so much expectations from you

Oh happiness!

Who really are you 

Where are you

Are you real or not

Oh happiness!

Can we ever find you

Can we ever understand you

Can we ever be satisfied by you

Oh happiness!

Thanks.
