True Happiness

Compexities in life abound,
Sometimes it really helps I've found,
To take a longer simpl'r view,
Just try and you can do it too.

What's most important in this life,
Above the daily cares and strife?
The thing, of course, I'm speaking of,
Is that elusive thing called love.

One's love of self comes first of all,
For without that, we can't but fall,
So look inside your very core,
And find the 'you' you can adore.

We all have special qualities,
Just put them out for all to see.
Then once you have, I swear it's true,
You'll find that love will come to you.

Though love may walk in many shoes,
As fam'ly, friends and lovers too.
So take the love that comes your way,
Return it adding yours each day.

Do this one thing and you will find,
True happiness of soul and mind.
