This poem is one of my favorites. I cherish it and it contains a philosophy I try to live by. It is the idea that happiness is not a single, large thing that we find at the end of the movie that is our life. Even if riding off into the sunset toward happily ever after does not exist, life can still be full of richness. Perhaps happiness is something we choose to find in little moments throughout our days.

Life can be a lot of madness and mayhem-- stop, breathe, and do something that makes you happy, no matter how small.

What is a poem that means a lot to you? Please share!
