Life’s Real Treasures

We seek happiness

In the luxury that we see

When eternal contentment

Is a treasure so free

A venture in the woods

A walk by the beach

Pristine Mother Nature

With so much to teach

We can rush to the finish line

To claim that we’ve won

Or stop to smell the flowers

Before the journey is done

We can chase the big things

While life passes by

Or resurrect our childhood

Enough to lift us up high

We can seek happiness without

And get lost in ‘things’

Or stop for a deep breath

Realising it’s all within

We can bleat at life

And fall deep into its pit

Or watch the sun rise

And be glad that it did
