Finding Happiness

I would like to kick off the World Youth Peace Foundation blog with a poem named 'Finding Happiness' that was read at the 2006 World Scholar Athlete Games.

Finding happiness is like chasing a butterfly...
The more you chase it and chase it and chase it
The more it will elude you...
But... if you sit quietly and look at the beauty that surrounds you,
Count your family, count your friends and count your blessings...
Happiness will come and rest softly, softly, softly on your shoulder.
-Billy Lee Long

I hope you like it as much as I do.

Paul
