Help Yourself

To Happiness

Everybody, everywhere seeks happiness, it’s true.

But finding it and keeping it seems difficult to do.

Difficult because we think that happiness is found

Only in the places where wealth and fame abound.

And so we go on searching in “palaces of pleasure”

Seeking recognition and monetary treasure

Unaware that happiness is just a “state of mind”

Within the reach of everyone who takes time to be kind.

For in making others happy we will be happy, too,

For the happiness you give away returns to “shine on you.”

- Helen Steiner Rice

Thanks, Dad, for brining happiness to all you knew!
