There is more to Happiness

There is more to happiness than just a smile.
There is more to laughter than just a sound.
There is more to love than just a feeling.
There is more to the world than just being round.

Look for more than what you first see, hear, feel and believe.
There is always more.

There is more to the ocean than just water and salt.
There is more to the earth than just dirt and sand.
There is more to the mountains than just rock.
There is more to the air than we will ever understand.

Look for more than what you first taste, touch, caress and conceive.
There is always more.

There is more to school than just being there.
There is more to a job than just the pay.
There is more to helping than saying, "I will."
There is more to a vacation than just getting away.

Look for more than a place, reward, a promise or going.
There is always more.

There is more to worship than sitting in a pew.
There is more to hoping than nothing to do.
There is more to following than not turning away.
There is more to beliving than just saying, "Me too."

Look for more than just sitting,waiting, going along and blending in.
There is always more.


















Look for more and you may find Happiness is being content that you have always done all you could to find  the beauty in what has come your way as you looked for more to love.
