Happiness

Timothée Venuh 1999 (Paradise)

Sonnet
Happiness, a priceless possession of mine
Happiness, a  thing I wish for my life
Happiness, a thing that doesn't last long
Happiness, a thing that make a person extraordinary.

Happiness, a thing that stands out
Happiness, a thing that I long for
Happiness, a thing I once possessed in my life
Happiness, a thing that I see no more

    Your poem is very reflective about happiness as an adult..
    At 23 you are just starting out in life, welcome to the real world !
    Happiness is a virtue you must pursue, you must make life happen ! ,
    Good friends, hobbies and have a faith that sees you through in the dire straits.
    All you need is a faith as large as a mustard seed !
