Spreading Happiness

S mile costs nothing, so give it free and gratuitous P leasant demeanour is a sure sign of happiness R elate to all in an amiable way, it strengthens camaraderie E mpathy is core to happiness, the ability to feel for others A wesome feeling of love is like a spurt, it ejects out, D rowning all bitterness and feelings of revulsion. I nfuse in oneself and others an insatiable zest for living. N either wealth nor possessions can make us truly happy. G oodness of heart and a clean conscience warrant peace n’ joy! H appiness comes only to persons who seek it the least, A nd, not to those who struggle to have it by means, fair or foul. P hilosophers agree that true happiness stems from within. P erpetual happiness lies in being satisfied with what we have. I gnite interest in the world outside and enjoy the beauty around. N egativity destroys happiness and should be kept at arm’s length E xpress gratitude to all who have helped us in some way. S pend quality time with family and friends, spreading good cheer. S ubmit finally to God and hopefully wait for His benediction! March. 27.2023 Spreading Happiness Poetry Contest Sponsor – Anoucheka Gangabisson

Back to say congratulations - I was definitely looking for this one higher up. I suspect Soup might have shaken the pot before publishing the results again with that recent glitch.

A clean conscious helps with peace of mind and true happiness perpetual happiness comes from within and from the knowledge and contentment that you are happy with what you have what more could I ever want, just have to wait until God judges me one day. Exceptional poem Valsa good luck in the contest my friend hugs and love Jennifer

If love becomes the driving force in every heart, this world would become a heaven. Thank you so much Ann for your lovely comment.

I like this one you have written for the contest. If we offer what happiness and joy we have to others, it will flow into us for some reason maybe Karma. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in this one and for dropping by my page. Sara

Thank you so much dear Sara. Yes, do unto others what you wish to be done unto you. I like to believe that love will be repaid by love, though not always....
