Happiness

Happiness is a state of mind
one thinks about and hopes for,
but the moments of happiness are
far and few between and are
therefore very precious.
One seems to go on through life,
searching from one moment
to another,
and what keeps a person going it seems,
is the hope
for a new beginning and a happier future
with as many good moments as possible.
The strongest faith one can have
is in one's own beliefs.
Therefore, what you believe in
is very important for you
to keep your faith:
not just for a few moments
but forever.
