Happiness Poem by sunanda Menon

Happiness is a state of mind. You can be happy if you choose to be. Here is my take on happiness


Happiness

You can't live without happiness
Happiness is there for you and me
It is in the little things of life
You don't even notice and see

You can find it in whatever you do,
You just have to see and look
In the joy of a celebration
In the pages of your favorite book.

In the intimacy of holding hands
And that ‘look' in your lover's eye
In the golden memories you recall
When tears of joy make you cry.

In the approving smile of your friend
When the challenges you overcome
In seeking the grace of the Lord
For thanksgiving, when your work is done.

Happiness is strolling right beside you
It is at your beck and call, waiting at the door
Close your eyes, feel and welcome it
There is always more and more
For sure.

The wrong some adults do.




The internet is full of news
Teenagers are committing crimes
Everyday
How can a young mind do this?
We wring our hands in despair
And say.

Whose fault is it, I wonder
Why do they appear so evil
I often think.
There is no school in the
Mother's womb that teaches to do
Those wrongful kind of things.

Adult material to view on the net?
The ‘DIY' instructions on how to make
a bomb?
To peddle drugs and guns to fire?
Luring young ones for their own
Sadistic pleasure?

It's some cruel adults who for personal gains
Set the trap, in their spider's web and wait
For them, to catch
They convince and coerce young ones
To follow them, a sinister plot
They hatch.

Beware adults, as the net takes over
Our lives, the wrong information can
Act like a deluge
Drowning a vulnerable young one's
Mind and soul so that nowhere
Can he find refuge.

Pitfalls of the overuse of the net, do inform
With wrong kind of information, themselves
Let them not surround.
Or else a desensitized mutated generation
Of monsters the world will have
All around.

The net we cannot control the whole wide world
We cannot change but what can be done,
Singlehandedly.
Is to monitor with patience and care
The young ones who live in our
Very own family.
