Sunsets

i think a lot about happiness.

where i can go to find it, thinking it's this complex thing so hard to achieve.

i realize it is all right in front of me.

happiness is surrounding me, surrounding all of us.

when i see the blue sky,

when i see the bright green grass and hear the birds overhead.

when i look into his ocean blue eyes.

when i feel the sand between my toes and the salt in my hair.

when i watch the sun set and rise on those early mornings and late evenings.

when i can feel his fingers intertwine with mine.

we can choose to find happiness in the litte things.

to step back from the big picture and look at the small moments.

the sun may set every night,

and it may get dark,

but the sun always rises again.

happiness might come in waves,

but we can always find it again.
