Favorite Quote:
"Live deliberately" -Henry David Thoreau


Happiness has a code
that I cannot break,
a trick I cannot find,
not even for my own sake.

Escape to a new world,
escape to love and joy,
a place with real happiness
and not just a ploy.

That is my wish,
the only one I want granted.
The little seed of happiness
in fertile ground planted.


The author's comments:
I wrote this poem soon after my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and after my dear friend had attempted suicide. I myself was struggling with depression, and finding happiness in life.
