Happiness
Happiness
Is not
Just an emotion.
It is
A state of mind
From which
To live life.
It is
The centering
Of the soul
On what is important.
This focus
Allows
The beauty
Of a sunrise
To be remembered,
Or
The, “I’m sorry,”
To be cherished
After a fight.
It must be
Nurtured
Like a flower,
And
Practiced
Like a prayer.
Happiness
Is
God’s gift
To us.

Hi Dawn. Thanks for visiting my blog. Sorry, but I can't take on any new review projects now, or any time soon. I do understand how hard it is to find reviewers so I'm sad to say no.
Your work is lovely and, indeed, upbeat. You should check out Bellowing Ark and also Shadow Poetry for submissions into hard copy journals.
