Don't Plan to Be Happy

Tomorrow it will be here
Over the next horizon
The next full moon
Then I will be happy

A plan for happiness
Written as an itinerary
The heart engaged
In the destination
Missing the joy
In the journey

Inhale with thanksgiving
And exhale with praise
For the moment
You are given

Look toward tomorrow
But don’t miss today
Stop your planning
Happiness is already here
Open your soul
And let it in
