I started my New Year <br />Walking down the beach <br />Swinging my arms <br />And splashing through waves <br />Searching for life's happiness <br />And putting bits and pieces of <br />Happy memories, <br />Squeals of laughter, <br />Smiles beamed with joy, love and pride <br />And <br />The gift of faith and belief <br />And all these helped me <br />To enter another year of happiness <br />And cleared the space <br />And showed me <br />The presence of lively colors <br />In the stillness of the day <br />And brightness of the light <br />And unfolded miracles in everyday life <br />And there I watched happiness ripple out <br />Another day of loving emotions...........<br /><br />Seema Chowdhury<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/searching-for-happiness-2/
