Happiness Poem by Michael Hickey

I want you to find your happiness.
I want you to walk through the tall grass and
Let your fingers brush the tops.
I want you to feel no fear and with every step grow
Stronger and more convinced of yourself.
I want you to smile and open yourself to the beauty of
Your life and with each breath you take, may you be filled
With hope and new beginnings. I want you to feel the freedom
You had as a child when every day was an adventure that you
Hoped would never end.
I want you to embrace success and failure never checking your stride
And know it's only you watching when you try to hide. I want you to
Go to bed at night the knowledge you're more than enough even
Though at times this life is tough.
I want you to give yourself to this life, it's beautiful, you know,
Now go seek this wonder and never let it go.
