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 Heartsease 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 Sunday School Times.*
