Moments of Happiness

Lost Hope

I wish I could make you happy, 

But life does not always work that way.

We have to find our moments of happiness,

Since in the blink of an eye it is lost.

Happiness is not a bauble or a trinket or something bought. Happiness is something shared by two people that will forever illicit reminders of moments spent together when being anywhere else on earth would not have been enough.

[Willard Wells]

But you have to be able to accept the happiness which starts with loving yourself.

So true. Happiness is not guaranteed and we cannot rely on others for our happiness. We must find happiness within ourselves. It can be difficult at times but in the midst of adversity it can be our only vice. We need to hold on to it and make it our own. Nice job!

[Willard Wells]

Thank you so much for visiting my words and commenting. Happiness, smiles and love, but not necessarily in that order.

[MelissaAndres]

Oh, you are more than welcome, Willard! :)

[R Smith]

so true Will, happiness can be whisked away in an instance, sad news or a tragic accident,, as you say find happiness where you can and when you can, good advice very well written in this great poem :)

Thank you Richard for your kind words and time with my work.

Being responsible for our own happiness is not a concept that a lot of people really understand. Other people can add to our joy, but it is our take on life that is responsible for whether or not we are happy with our decisions.
Life is too short not to be happy, but a bit of contrast is always needed for true appreciation. I just choose not to get stuck in the sadness and tragedy of life for long.

[Willard Wells]

Totally agree JC. I treat sadness and tragedy as I do my battle with demons and dark. I hang at the edge and look around to get the feel, but then I move back to the light and let the damons play alone. Thank you so much for your commenting and visiting my work.

So, so very true. This is a great little reflective message to us all that life is far from smooth and sometimes it is up to us to deal with what it thows our way and not simply expect others to take responsibility.

[Willard Wells]

Thank you for visiting and commenting. It is so easy to let a day go by and not tell someone you care, but if you don't, it may be to late.

Those are definitely very true words there Willard. One never know when its over as we always think we have so much time here. Lovely piece and picture.

[Willard Wells]

I found this so true for me or brought this thought forth after a bad bicycle accident a year ago. It was just one inch I expect between me typing this or looking down on you all. Well I expect to be looking down and from a comfortable place, not too warm If you know what I mean. Thank you for your kind words and taking time to visit.

There is truth in what you say but, so often, women want something that is meaningful to them to be seen by them before they move on to create moments of happiness with a fellow. Every girl you meet has her own little standards she tries to adhere to! Nice poem, spot on.

[Willard Wells]

Boy talk about losing something for a long time. Sorry my friend. And sometimes you cannot make them happy for material reason or a pain within them that does not allow them to be truly loved. Many that have been rapped have this issue. Thank you for reading a long time ago and commenting.
