Secret to Happiness

Happiness is sweeter after deep sorrow

The night falls only to give rise to a new tomorrow

Leaves dry in fall only to reshape the tree in spring

Going down is only to fly high, that’s the nature of swing

The depression and tear drops are not permanent

Like everything else, they are transient

Loneliness is but a state of mind

If you open your heart, friends everywhere you can find

Like elders said, be a lotus leaf

Be aware that grief is but brief

Never let dejection stick

Bounce back like a punch bag that was kick

Everything doesn’t happen just because you thought it would

Nothing stops because you did not expect

Just think everything happens for your own good

That’s happiness; it’s a secret - simple and best kept
