True Happiness

There are many types of happiness

You know those times in your life where you can look around the room and truly see what is around you, when you're in that particular state of mind causing you to take in every bit of life you can hold onto for years to come.  This is what you call true happiness.  Happiness is not materialistic.  It's not a gift, or a car, or money.  It is a moment in time when you know deep in your heart that there is no other place you would rather be than the one your in.  Most times you are oblivious to what is actually happening around you, too high on life to realize just how significant the role of love plays in our everyday routine, but then, every once in a while we experience true happiness, and we remember everything about that day.  I found it today, as I stood in front of my family and friends to give my girl, my whole world my heart and soul, my unflinching love, and my hand in marriage.  It is a memory I will keep and cherish until the day I die.

Author's Note

This is not really a poem, but more so an idea. I wrote it a week after my wedding, on my honeymoon actually, sitting on the shore of Lake Superior, hoping to turn it into a short story.
