butterflies, and delicious fruit,
but many of us spend much of life
looking for happiness around the next corner.
We do not bend to enjoy the happiness,
which is ours for the taking just at our feet.
In our desire to reach the "pot of gold,"
the complete and lasting happiness we all want
to fill our lives,
we ignore anything which doesn't seem worthy
of such a large ambition,
or which can't give us the whole thing all at once.
Happiness is all around us,
but it often comes in small grains.
When we gather it grain by grain,
we soon have a basketful.
