If happiness stood before me (poem)

19 Jan

If happiness stood before me

If happiness stood before me, all sparkling and bright.
If sadness faded behind me, disappearing from sight.
If this moment that I stood in, would let me drop my load,
I would pick up happiness and take it upon life’s road.

But what does happiness look like? How would I ever know?
What shape and size does it take, when it comes out on show?
Would the happiness that I see, look just the same to you?
Or does your happiness arrive with a different view?

I need not ask those questions, for my life has shown to me,
That happiness takes many forms, all different to see.
That happiness can race in, taking you off for a ride,
Or drift into your day, staying contently by your side.

If happiness stands before you, then greet it with a smile.
Welcome its company, let it make your life feel worthwhile.
When it starts to fade, don’t be afraid to let it depart.
For very soon, a new path to happiness will start.

Happiness is a way of thinking that you find within,
If you learn to master it, then your happiness will win.
Let those memories of happiness light up your life today,
Then through those darkest of times, happiness will find a way.

Let the celebrations start (poem)

21 Dec

Let the celebrations start

Let the celebrations start,
Let the joy into your heart.
The time has come to relax and have fun.
Whatever is the reason,
Let this become the season,
Where your joy is shared with everyone.

Release the love from within,
Let the happiness begin,
Let your goodness and kindness lead the way.
Whether a stranger or friend,
Your good tidings, you can send,
Share a smile with all those you meet today.

If someone is looking sad,
Of your joy, they may be glad,
Release some of the joy within you now.
Stretch out a hand in friendship,
Of your welcome, let them sip,
If they cannot smile, help them to learn how.

Let us dance around the floor,
Until we can dance no more,
Then sit and laugh at all fun we have found.
Take these good moments and share,
With the others who are there,
Let your happiness be spread all around.

When you have worn yourself out,
From the joy floating about,
Tuck all of those good memories away.
When real life is back again,
Those memories will remain,
There to be enjoyed on a rainy day.

Seeking the address of happiness (poem)

15 Jul

Seeking the address of happiness

I woke up this morning determined to find happiness,
Would that be hard to do, for I do not know its address?
Just where do I start? Is there someone that I could ask?
I soon realised that I had set myself quite a task!
I need some directions on even where I should begin,
This could become quite a journey, if I am to win.

I know! Let’s start with yesterday, what can I find there?
Surely in amongst it all, its address must be somewhere.
I can find the odd moments when happiness was around,
But its forwarding address is nowhere to be found.
I could see that there were some with whom happiness has stayed,
But unfortunately, plans to stay with me were never made.

Maybe I need to look back further, times from long ago,
Seek out all those moments when happiness put on a show.
Let those memories run through me, let them bring back a smile,
Those times when I found happiness were always so worthwhile.
They certainly provided clues to help me find a way,
So how can I use them to find happiness’s address today?

Looking back at happiness, I can see now where to start,
For I have realised its address lives within my heart.
It’s from within there that the path to happiness is found,
At that address, many bits of happiness float around.
I could meet a friend, take a walk, or read for an hour or two.
Upon this day of happiness: ‘to thine own self be true’

Catching a smile (poem)

21 Aug

Catching a smile

I saw you come walking along the street,
With a cheerful tapping of your feet.
You had such a sweet smile upon your face,
As you walked on by, at quite a pace.
You rushed past me, your mind was elsewhere,
That you hardly knew that I was there.

I will never know just why your sweet smile,
Touched my world for such a little while.
Your happiness was so easy to see,
That it reached within to a part of me.
It brought a smile to me upon this day,
As I carried on, along my own way.

It made me think just how a smile can grow,
From a seed from someone I do not know.
That when you catch a smile, just by chance,
From a passing stranger, from only a glance,
It can cheer you up, so what I shall do,
Is to show a smile, to be caught by you.

Living within a happy moment (poem)

10 Jul

Living within a happy moment

Living within a happy moment, so cheerful to know,
A chance to enjoy life and to let this memory grow.
To relish this moment, to let it live inside you,
So that it can be remembered, recalled into view.
Once this moment’s over, to be safely tucked away,
A joy forever more, to brighten any dull day.

Whenever you meet a dark day, with not much to see
Just sit back for a while and set that memory free.
It’s with you forever more, through all time and space,
Just let it drift on back and bring a smile to your face.
Let it lead you through sadness and out the other side,
Forever in your heart, that memory shall abide.

A moment of happiness (poem)

26 Sep

A moment of happiness

A moment of happiness, a moment to smile,
A moment to let cheerfulness appear for a while.
A bright sunny morning, the birds greeting the dawn,
Brings a moment of joy as they land on the lawn.
A red sky above you, the birds return to their nest,
Brings a moment of calm as the sun goes for its rest.

A moment of fun, to let your laughter flow again,
Singing out loud on your own, or dancing in the rain.
A moment shared with friends, of playing games in the park,
Or that moment when you all lit candles in the dark.
A moment spent remembering the fun in your past,
Returns with happy memories that were made to last.

Any moment is precious, you have many inside,
All waiting for you to let them pop up outside.
Just look up at the stars or feel the wind in your hair,
Let your mind seize this moment and enjoy what’s there.
Even in darkness you can find a moment of light,
For within your heart, happiness is always in sight.

Hugs, hearts and rainbows (short poems)

11 Jan

Hugs, hearts and rainbows

Accepting a hug

Accept a hug in joyfulness,
Let it wrap you in its loving embrace.
Let it pass on its happiness,
And set a smile upon your face.

Beginning with the heart

When something new,
Comes into your view,
It can bring uncertainty on where to start.
Just look within,
On where to begin,
For the best guide is your own loving heart.

Life’s inner rainbow

Life’s inner rainbow comes in many shades and hues,
Within every part of us these colours do dwell.
So whenever you feel you are just living in the blues,
Glance around, for the other colours are there as well.
