Written for : Reenaโs Xploration Challenge #273
I set out on a quest to claim my share
of happiness. They say there is plenty
to go around for everybody ๐
I traveled at length, but none to
be found. Exhausted, I go home,
empty and forlorn. ๐
greeted at the door by hugs
of childish glee. tickles and
teases, she runs off giggling.
leaves me smiling ๐
a few steps in, another sweet
hug, a quick peck and off she
goes too… laughing
leaves me smiling ๐ค
I peek into their rooms, I watch
them glance my way, a twinkle
of mischief in their eyes. I roll
my eyes, shake my head and
wink back a tease. ๐
I leave them smiling. ๐ค
sometimes we search high and
low, pay prices way more than
required. We take because we
give and only give if we receive.
We fail to see what counts,
is all within reach ๐
a smile, kind words, time given with
no due returns. a hug or a thought
spared on your account. Often, the
smallest of gestures bring on that
winning smile of happiness. ๐ค๐ค
