Everybody, everywhere seeks happiness its true
But finding it and keeping it seems difficult to do
Difficult because we think that happiness is only found in places where fame and wealth abound
And so we go on searching in phases of pleasure
Seeking recognition and monetary treasure
While being so unaware that happiness is just a state of mind within the reach of everyone who takes time to be kind
For in making others happy we will be happy too
Because the happiness that you give away always returns to shine on you

I would like to translate this poem
i'm sorry Jax, but just changing a few words doesn't make this poem yours. I am afraid that someone named Helen Steiner Rice wrote this poem. But I am sure you already know that. Make sure that you always do the right thing.: -)
