        To Be Happy

Come to this new venture
join this new light
tread heavily on this path
feel this moment one more time.

You have endured
You have survived
You have lost
You have gained
You are whole again.

Cross the threshold
dare to intrude
welcome the unexpected
rejoice in everything
feed your solitude.

Happiness is what you make of it
it is momentary
it comes and goes
only you can cherish it.
