Happiness Is Homemade
“I just want to be happy”,
she says through the tears.
It’s all I’ve every wanted.
I’ve said so for years.
She cries out to God,
“I just want a reason to smile.
I’ve been begging and begging,
It’s been such a long while.
The answer comes back:
“Happiness is Homemade.
I love you, I’m here.
Stop being afraid.”
“Are you really here for me?
I try so hard not to be afraid.
But tell me what this message means.”
she prayed.
“Homemade means:
Something that you make from scratch,
You make it with your own two hands,
Using all your best ingredients, in the whole batch.”
“Happiness isn’t given to you.
You have to make it instead.
It means you need to
go after those dreams in your head.
You speak of them clearly
Day after day.
FEAR is the Devil
Push him away.”
“Happiness is homemade.
It’s all up to me?”
“Yes, but I’m here with you.
Trust me. You’ll see!”
