Happiness is the ultimate end,
The reasons behind the actions we tend.
But along the way we neglect to see,
The happiness that abounds around thee.
As we strive to attain our goals,
We need to stop and check the polls.
For often we forget to heed,
The advice and love of those we need.
No longer can we see the joy,
That can be found in a child’s toy.
Never stopping to smell the roses,
The beauty lies beneath our noses.
