it happens

like many before me
I too have lost my way
in my quest for happiness
I realized I knew nothing at all
so I stopped searching
and I started walking
and suddenly it happened to me
and I know now that I do know
the answer to it all

it's when I welcome the unfamiliar
it's when I smile to strangers
it's when I keep an open heart
it's when I love no matter what

it's when I let happiness happens
