Happiness

For a long time it seemed to me that

life was about to begin-real life.

But there was always some obstacle 

in the way, something to be gotten

through first, some unfinished

business, time still to be served,

a debt to be paid.

At last it dawned on me

that these obstacles were my life.

This perspective has helped me

to see there is no way to happiness.

Happiness is the way. So treasure

every moment you have and

remember that time waits for no one.
