Open Your Eyes

Perhaps happiness is not meant to be lasting.
Perhaps happiness is the little things-
those brief moments of content.

Waking up to rain on a Sunday morning,
Or making a new friend that you
did not expect,
When you really love a song and
you feel as though it is written
just for you...

Maybe that is all happiness is
Maybe our expectations have been too high
We've been looking for it
in the wrong places. in other people.

Happiness is everywhere, all the time
maybe if we open our eyes, we'll find it.
