The Road to Happiness

By Annie Johnson Flint

THIS is the road to Happiness: Start Now, from Where You Are; Turn to the Right and Keep straight on, And you'll not find it far.
Along the path of Willing Feet, And over Heartease Hill; Across the fields of Sweet Content, The stream of Glad Good Will; Then through the lane of Loving Heart, The gate that's called To-day, And down the steps of Little Things Into the Common Way.
And take the cloak of Charity, The staff of Wise Employ, A loaf of Bread of Daily Grace, A flask well filled with Joy; A word of cheer, a helping hand, Some good to give or share, A bit of song, a high resolve, A hope, a smile, a prayer.
And in the Place of Duty Done, Beside the Door of Home, You'll find the House of Happiness— For Happiness does not roam.
— Annie Johnson Flint, in Northwestern Christian Advocate.
