Poetry for International Day of Happiness: Happiness is Near
Author: Thao Vy
Happiness is a quiet street,
Where you and I stroll leisurely.
Happiness is a clean swimming pool,
Where we dive into on scorching summer days.
Happiness is a delicious meal shared with family,
A warm gathering with parents, siblings, and loved ones.
Happiness is found in faraway travels,
Exploring new lands with friends, leaving worries behind.
My friend, don’t search for its source,
For happiness always resides within.
With a strong heart, face life’s challenges,
And always be kind, cheerful, and true.
View life as a joyful song,
Even the smallest things can bring happiness.

2 Poetry for International Day of Happiness: Happiness is Within Us
Poetry for International Day of Happiness: Happiness is Within Us
Author: Thao Vy
I often ask myself,
What is happiness?
What does it taste like?
Why does it leave us longing?
Flowers display their vibrant colors and scents,
Reaching high towards the sky.
Do they find happiness in their existence?
In their brief but beautiful lives?
Birds sing melodious songs,
Soaring freely in the sky.
Are they happy with their lot?
With the vastness of the sky as their domain?
Then it dawns on me,
Happiness is me,
And it is you.
Life is like a fleeting summer,
A gentle breeze that passes by.
Every photo captured,
Every sweet treat savored,
Every sincere wish,
And every warm soul encountered,
All contribute to the tapestry of happiness.
“Happiness”, a word that encompasses all these moments, is for all of us to embrace.

Poetry for International Day of Happiness: Choosing Happiness
Author: Thao Vy
Life is a song,
And we choose the notes, high or low.
Let’s live a fulfilling life,
With less pain and more courage to face sorrows.
Find your unique path,
And don’t be deterred by others’ opinions.
Shoulder your burdens bravely,
For happiness will ring out loud and clear.
True happiness doesn’t lie in wealth,
But in days filled with peace and joy.
4 Poetry for International Day of Happiness: Seeking Happiness
Poetry for International Day of Happiness: Seeking Happiness
Author: Thao Vy
Many strive to find,
Their idea of happiness,
Driven by an unknown force.
They seek love,
But remain unfulfilled.
Then they pursue success and wealth,
Only to be left disenchanted.
In their pursuit, they forget,
That life is full of contradictions.
True happiness cannot be found,
When we squander love and affection.
So, embrace love when it comes,
And don’t rush success, it will come in time.
Don’t be hasty or rely on luck,
For everything happens as it’s meant to.
But remember, if you don’t seize the moment,
It may pass you by.
5 Poetry for International Day of Happiness: Reflections on International Day of Happiness
Poetry for International Day of Happiness: Reflections on International Day of Happiness
Author: Do My Loan
Like any other day,
I greet March 20th with indifference,
Yet my heart stirs with emotion.
I see others boasting of their happiness,
And my tears begin to flow.
I want to scream to the heavens,
But my strength fails me, and I collapse.
The online world has dealt a cruel blow,
With its relentless tide of woes.
Before me and behind me stretch days of gloom,
And I feel a deep sense of ennui.
I wish to forget the somber verses,
And the deceitful words of others.
Let me return to a world,
Where butterflies and flowers dance innocently.
Forget the turbulent sea,
Where waves tear through the deep blue.
On this March 20th, let’s reclaim our smiles,
And wipe away the tears from our eyes.

Poetry for International Day of Happiness: Happiness is a State of Mind
Author: Dang Minh Mai
People often ask,
What is happiness?
Is it money or luxury?
Devotion or high status?
Or is it fame and fortune?
These questions about happiness are abstract and complex.
Yet, happiness is all around us,
In our hearts and minds, every day.
It’s found in honest words and sincere emotions,
In considerate actions that avoid causing harm.
It’s in the act of helping the needy,
Offering a warm meal or a place to rest.
Happiness is the laughter of children,
And the sharing of life’s joys and sorrows with a partner.
Even in the face of adversity, we can find happiness,
Like a boat riding out the storm, still smiling.
Happiness is subjective, both near and far,
Depending on one’s perspective, one’s outlook on life.
With a pure and unwavering mind,
And a resilient spirit, happiness will find you.
In the end, happiness is simple and not something to be chased after.

Poetry for International Day of Happiness: What is Happiness?
Author: Toan Tam Hoa
Let’s sit in a corner of tranquility,
And feel the gentleness of life.
Let love burn passionately,
And view the world through poetic eyes.
Happiness is not a dream, but a reality!
When your heart beats with excitement,
And your dreams are fueled by hope.
When love burns brightly each day,
And your eyes shine with joy.
Happiness is holding hands,
And seeing radiance in each other’s eyes.
It’s a simple dinner, forever remembered,
And waking up to greet the sunrise together.
Happiness is the harmony of shared moments,
And the warmth of a loving family.
It’s the peace of a safe haven,
And the abundance of emotional wealth.
Taking the kids to school… that’s happiness,
And adding a little more love each day.
8 Poetry for International Day of Happiness: Happiness
Poetry for International Day of Happiness: Happiness
Author: Vu Thi Khuong
Don’t ask why, it’s just the way it is!
There’s no explanation to be found.
As the afternoon fades and the sun’s rays soften,
I wait by the car, hoping to see you.
Don’t ask why, I’m like a sleepwalker.
The wind has calmed, and the leaves gently sway,
Casting a golden hue over the autumn sky.
Oh, happiness, with your countless mysteries,
You can’t be explained away.
Those who have experienced true love know,
It’s not always sweet and gentle.

Poetry for International Day of Happiness: What Kind of Happiness?
Author: Tung Tran
True happiness doesn’t come easily,
It’s not a gift simply given.
Don’t wait for luck to find you,
Take action and make your dreams come true.
If you want your wishes to come true,
You must embrace the bitter with the sweet.
Stay true to your passions and ideals,
And don’t give up in the face of adversity.
Happiness always finds its way back to you,
Even in the midst of life’s storms.
Appreciate what you have,
And you’ll find happiness isn’t far away.
Sometimes happiness passes by,
Just for a fleeting moment.
Even if it’s not what you long for,
It will leave an everlasting impression.
