Shel Silverstein


Happy Quest. HAPPY. Happily ever after. Happy through it all. Happy in spite of it all. Happy after everything. Happy to be here. Don’t worry, be happy. Happy to see you. Happy to be alive. Just try to be happy. Be happy with the simple pleasures. Just be happy. Happy is EVERYWHERE, in so many phrases.
I am none of those most of the time. It is hard pretending I am. Everything is hard right now.
 
The Search
I went to find the pot of gold
That's waiting where the rainbow ends.
I searched and searched and searched and searched
And searched and searched and then -
There it was, deep in the grass,
Under an old and twisty bough.
It's mine, it's mine, it's mine at last...
What do I search for now?

Shel Silverstein
