you get what you give

You’ve got to find your happiness

Happiness is stubborn
It does not want to be found

It will not come to you in the form of a sweet boy with big brown eyes
It will not come to you in the form of money
It will not come to you in the form of possessions 
It will not come to you at all

But if you search, you will never find it

The only way to find this thing you long for
Is to be other’s happiness
Even if it is only for a second

Help the elderly woman with her groceries
Tell the girl sitting next to you in biology that you like her drawings
Buy your mom an unexpected gift
Tell the man walking in front of you that he dropped his wallet, and pick it up for him
Give the homeless woman a pair of gloves and a few extra dollars
Stand up for the boy at school who is bullied everyday

The smiles that these simple acts of kindness bring
Is where you will find your happiness
