True Happiness


It's not about having everything you want,

But being okay with everything you have.

It's not about being popular and having millions of so called friends,

It's about having true friends that actually care about you and love you.

 

It's not about how big your house is,

It's about how much of a home your house is.

It's not about finding a perfect person,

It's about finding the perfect person for you.

 

It's not about being the best at everything,

It's about knowing you tried your best.

It's not about having lots of money,

It's about helping those with the money you do have.

 

It's not about being with the people who make you happy when you're with them,

But the people who make you happy all the time.

It's about being with the ones you love.

Your family and true friends -- that's where true happiness lies.
