This is something I wrote (OMG) almost 12 years ago when I was starting to find myself. I am always happy when I come across it to remind me that happiness comes from within not without. I am really happy to have this place (psy-central)
to share.....Hugs, Tooter (Pam)

Come into the forest of happiness
Where grief cannot follow and
Shame has no place

Come into this world of peace
And colored leaves
Where the child does not have to hide

Come into the warmth of love and joy
Where the heart can be free
To sing!

Come into this wonderful place
And know that this is your home
Where the fire burns brightly inside you

Come into the forest of happiness
Anytime you want just by closing your eyes
And floating on a cloud
To the place where you long to be
