May be, but there is a lot to say on happiness, being chased by everyone but understood by few. (not quite even by this poet who has penned many poems on the subject) .
Reading this poem I infer that happiness lies in the contentment of one's heart. Happiness doesn't come in same packages and receiving doesn't come in same intensity, too. Gracias! ! !
