Purpose of Life
Finding happiness within oneself Happiness is a fleeting thing That comes and goes like a bird on the wing But true joy, like a wellspring deep Is something that within us we can keep We search for it in material things Hoping they'll give us the joy that rings But possessions and wealth will never suffice To give us a life that's truly nice For joy that's real and truly sweet Comes from within, it's ours to meet It's found in loving ourselves for who we are And cherishing the things that make us unique, near or far We must learn to embrace the things we love And be at peace with what we're made of For happiness is not outside of ourselves It's a journey within that nobody else delves We must be kind, compassionate, and true To ourselves and others in all we do And in this way, we'll find the joy we seek Within ourselves, so strong and unique.
