Catch it

I wonder at the reasons that make people happy. I am certain that, as diverse as human nature is, there are also diversity in what makes each individual happy: A promotion. A bonus. A surpise gift from loved ones. A marriage. A birth. A hair cut. A new pair of school uniform. A good meal. Or, a smile. A twinkle in the eye from a stranger...

But then again, happiness is relative. What makes one person happy may not arouse the same kind of emotions from another. There are many things that can make me happy, I think... like seeing a smile on a child's face. The wonder of life that one could capture from that innocent smile...That to me, is happiness in its purest form.

Think about it the next time you see a child smile.
Catch it.
Seek a meaning for that smile.
Maybe from your own memories of your past,
A childhood long gone.

There,
You may discover
Your own lost happiness in its purity.
Catch it.
Treasure it.
