Happiness, many suppose,
Is owning chateaux and condos.
But if you just sit
And be still for a bit,
It might come land on your nose!
Picture borrowed from here.
Get over to see the driver of the Poetry Bus and join in!

Nice one, Stafford. One of the greatest truths must be the fact that, so often, what we're chasing, is already right there in front of us.

ReplyDeleteand the face on that child is just the best happiness can get.
So true Stafford...how wise you are! I just love this one! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, happiness comes from unexpected quarters! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the expression on the kid’s face! I have a picture of me with a butterfly on my head, but I think the nose would be the most fun – and happy!
ReplyDeleteIt's got a catchy rhyme.... cool photo!
ReplyDeleteMartin maybe should have finished with "happiness is often right in front of your nose"!
ReplyDeleteThe kid does seem to have mixed feelings, but the butterfly seems relaxed enough.
You always know how to bring smiles to our faces, joy to our spirits.
ReplyDeleteThere's a simple wisdom here, kind of what you seek is right in front of your face. Eloquently put
ReplyDeletetoo funny...
