Happiness

It is a visitor

Never stays long

It can captured in a

Word or in a song

It can linger momentarily

Only to disappear

Its best friend is acceptance

Its enemy is fear

It is never guaranteed

And it cannot be feigned

And once you truly feel it

It cannot be contained

Happiness is a journey

On which you will get lost

Happiness brings freedom

But to it there is a cost

Welcome it when it beckons

Because it can soon be gone

It's that elusive lover

Whose chase keeps you holding on
