Top 20 Best Poems About Happiness

What is happiness, my love?
I asked in days gone by
First time I heard your whisper
Wishing we'd share the same sky

Happiness, what do I wish for?
You're the other half in me
All that we've got, let's cherish
Hold on to it, my love, do you agree?

Happiness apart is longing
Sweet memories lingering
We share each other's breath
Forever walking the same path

Happiness isn't simple
We must give it our all
Don't compare, don't falter
Escape the vicious fall

Happiness means just this
No deceit in our hearts
Don't let my eyes shed tears
Love's thread in the wind, so fragile!

Simplicity of True Happiness

Always by our side

Easily overlooked

Fulfilling our eyes
Providing a clear view
Humans and nature

Giving us ears to hear
Words of genuine love
Listening to the greatest
Harmonious melodies

Giving our minds thoughts
Knowing right from wrong
Understanding above, below
Aware of past, future

Giving our hearts pain
Learning to love and share
Though the heart beats softly
The love remains vast

Do people realize
When they raise their voice
Their deepest desires
Are soulful songs

Feet always moving forward
Toward tomorrow's path
Hands longing
To do what is needed

True happiness is near
Many never obtain
For them, the dream
Is silent like everyone else's

Existing in this world
Who doesn't seek happiness
Simplest of all
Be a human.

Việt Tú

You're like a cool breeze
Adding a touch of sunlight to a perfect painting
You weave words together
Sweet happiness arrives in peaceful serenity

Every morning seems like a new dawn
Welcoming the rays of sun shaping us
But the surprising truth is
Those words surrounding us are boundless

Soaring like verses of poetry
Beautiful words, sweet dreams
Pledging love, sending fate
Suddenly extinguished after much anticipation

Coldly turning away, ignoring
Not a word spoken, just brushed aside
Regardless of others' sorrow
Tears flooding or hearts aching

People remain silent
Promises to build a future submerged
Love deep but roots faded
The dream of HAPPINESS sighs, FRAGILE.

DANH LỢI

It's something we no longer know

Just ensuring there's enough food on the table

Or living carelessly, talking sideways like crabs
It's gently pushing the boat like a breeze
No explanations or dissecting everything

It's being oneself without rushing
As light as if nothing's new
This life is inherently hectic
We startle ourselves at times

A tongue without bones, so it wags freely
Money gone, but leisure remains for fun
Just listen, wherever you are, no regrets
Laugh naturally and push away boredom

Happiness is nothing to sell
Embracing goodness, radiating around
Sharing the cool breeze
The greatest happiness is 'HEALTH'.

DANH LỢI

Look down to see how fortunate we are,
Many others face greater hardship afar!
Though our roof may not be grand,
Many wander without a shelter hand!

Look down when businesses fail to thrive,
Many have naught to eat to survive!
Life at times can be tough and rough,
Yet after dark, the moon rises enough!

Look down when spouses weary grow,
Many lack companionship, feeling low..
A little spat, anger and blame,
Then we love each other just the same!

Look down when dreams seem lost,
Don't lose hope - wish, dream at any cost!
Many carry bitterness deep within,
No chance for hope, no chance to win!

Look down - oh friend, do look down,
Keep the joy no matter what's around!
Look up at the sky, see the stars glow,
That's happiness! For some, it doesn't show!

Dinh Pham

Cast sorrow into the deep blue sea,

Years of hardship now just history,
Destiny's course at last alters its spree,
Fortune's wheel now turns in victory.
Steadfast in hope, longing for glee,
Profession prospers, yields profit and spree,
From now on, fulfillments, joys decree,
Tranquil happiness for a lifetime decree.

Tony Bui

'You and I shall both find joy, indeed
Only regret, not sharing it together'
Just the thought, it already makes my heart bleed
There you are, unaware, no notion tether

I love you with a love, ardent and true
Even miles apart, our hearts pursue
Longing for you, an endless avenue
If you don't care, then split, our paths ensue

You're indifferent, while I'm blameless, it's true
Falling for you, what wrong did I do?
Love just begun, yet our bridge it slew
So be it, my heart, I'll take back from you

In love, countless things go askew
Smiling through pain, I bravely accrue
Sadness, why bother, life's transient hue
Believe, we both find bliss, me and you.

Hường Lâm

Every morning, waking up to a small dream.
With your arms gently embracing my pillow
And silently whispering warm words
Through eyes full of love, my dear.

The sunlight gently seeps through the window.
Sparkling on the soft, obedient hair
I marvel at the peaceful happiness
That quietly rests on the lips of my beloved.

My dreams are small, yet I hope you understand.
Sincerely moved when thinking of you
Stay by my side, let's build good dreams together
Connecting our love across the divide.

We're still far apart, dare not to blame.
Just silently wishing to lean on your shoulder
Even though time ahead seems uncertain
I still place my trust in loving you, my dear.

Lê Thuỷ Trúc

This life belongs to ourselves,
Choose to walk lightly, whatever the path ahead,
Whether smooth or with obstacles,
We must glide through.

No use in complaining, it serves no purpose,
Don't dwell or blame anyone,
Our parents toiled for years,
Now grown, we must fend for ourselves!

The road may be easy or hard... it's up to us,
Through ups and downs, believe in perfect days,
Walk steadfastly, avoiding sadness,
Every difficulty can be overcome with effort!

Everyone experiences the ups and downs of life,
After storms, there will be days of joy,
Bitterness adds value to sweetness,
Don't lose heart... happiness is just around the corner!

Poem by: Tuyết Trần

Where does happiness truly lie?
It's closer than you think, my dear.
Don't seek it in distant realms,
For the treasure lies near.

Happiness is found in giving, you see,
In forgiveness and tranquility.
Amidst challenges, let not your spirit wane,
Embrace your essence, there's nothing to gain in vain.

Happiness isn't bought or sold,
It's in the giving, in the hearts that hold.
It's a gift, freely bestowed,
To those who share love, the untold.

Happiness lies in the simplest things,
In waking healthy, with each day it brings.
In the presence of loved ones, so near,
In having a home, where comfort's sincere.

In meals shared with laughter,
In having means to pursue what we're after.
In spreading joy, far and wide,
To cherish life, with love as our guide.

Hằng Phạm

When in love, fear grips tight,
Fearing to lose you in life's flight.
In passion's embrace, hold me close,
Let not gentle hands release the rose.

This heart may brave life's stormy tide,
But by your side, it's tender and wide.
Though the world's vast and wide,
How could I leave your side?

For with you resides
All dreams sweet and wide,
Belief in you brings bliss,
Thus my love, I gift with a kiss.

Trần Phú

You, days of love and longing!
Our hearts open wide, anticipating you.
Illuminating the night sky with countless stars.
Come to me! Together we dream.

Through life's twists and turns,
We still yearn for the distant horizon.
Midnight dew blends like tears,
Glistening like the sparkling lights!

You ignite many illusions within me.
And in my dreams, I see scenes of Paradise.
In the haze, a fragrance lingers…
From your flowing hair in the breeze.

Then your visage, clear and distinct
With a smile that's always on your lips.
My heart trembles with excitement…
A soul, innocent, playing amidst emotions.

Blood rushes, and flesh tingles.
Senses awaken joyously.
The fire of love spreads its intense warmth.
Warm arms entwine, knitting happiness.

We live with a love so real
That our souls soar in ecstasy.
Even if you're in a distant place,
I still feel you right beside me.

Illuminate our lives with illusions;
Eyes of lovers sparkle amidst the starry sky,
Lips scent forever sweet,
And the cascade of hair waves in every breeze!

Happiness is not exclusive to anyone.
Every day before the peaceful morning,
Birds chirp on branches,
Children come to study and play.

It's the happiness of all,
Our homeland united, land and sky belong to us.
Our people follow the footsteps of our ancestors,
Joining hands to build a prosperous country.

It's our happiness,
Together like shadow and form not far apart.
Seeing our descendants,
Passionate about work, caring for education.

In front of the house, a beautiful garden,
Every day flowers bloom, bringing joy.
Reading the poems I write... you smile.
That's the wonderful happiness, my dear!

Happiness is waking up every morning
Feeling content and serene
Watching the coffee drip slowly
Sitting quietly, observing life pass by.

Happiness is being together forever
Even when far from this earthly realm
Hands clasped amidst the vast ocean
Raising and nurturing well-behaved children.

Happiness is facing storms together
Sharing a bit of rice and clothes with others
Looking at life with cheerful eyes
Meeting difficulties with a confident smile.

Happiness is when old age comes
Having a place to return to day and night
Where loved ones eagerly await
Dreams don't wander far away.

Happiness is sharing wine and tea
Welcoming dear friends when they visit
No need for fame or worldly wealth
True happiness is found in the earthly realm.

Oh happiness! It's so close by
Yet not everyone can grasp it
Life! There are things unforeseen
Happiness slips away as time progresses.

Hồ Viết Bình

Should we dream of plucking stars from the sky?
The sky is high... can we reach it?
Dreaming of silver and gold,
But the heavens' treasures are not within reach... what do you think?
Dreaming of sitting on high
But lacking skill... work awaits.

Happiness isn't distant or lofty,
Happiness is very close to us, my friend...
Happiness is when our whole family
Works together, strives together, sings together, united in heart.
Once everything is done,
Joy will come, right in our hearts.

Joy will come to those
Who know themselves, know their work, know their mistakes... and don't repeat them.
Happiness, everyone desires
Everyone wants to have it... to hold it in their hands.
Happiness is very close to us,
In you, in me, in our loved ones at home.
Let go... happiness slips away,
Until we close our eyes... regretting our actions.

Happiness isn't something to seek,
It's near, it's friendly, it surrounds us.
Respect above, yield below, value the elderly,
Care for home, extend outside.

Be brave to admit mistakes, to correct them,
Lighten your heart, be content, be carefree.
Learn to forgive, live compassionately,
Pain of others akin to our own.

Toil in livelihood, maintain harmony in family,
Night moon slants upon the doorstep.
Give... to receive more love in return.

For the Motherland, know to sacrifice,
Be vigilant of lurking dangers.
Village love, neighborhood solidarity,
Oh what happiness surrounds us... so close.

Summer has passed, autumn dons its new attire,
Golden sunbeams spread across familiar paths.
Gentle breeze rustles the coconut leaves,
How many autumns have you been away?

Watching the young birds chirping from above,
Hearing your laughter, I reminisce about bygone days.
At our parting, a sweet kiss,
The fluttering heart of a young girl's first love.

Then you promised, in three autumns you'd return,
I eagerly count the seasons passing by,
Admiring the spring flowers, the golden autumn welcomes,
Keeping the beautiful promise of our love.

Then we'll be intoxicated in sweet dreams,
Eyes and lips syncing with every heartbeat.
Fulfilling the longing of countless days and months,
Autumn bliss, the hope I await.

Jane

Your hidden love always so sweet and tender,
Making his heart intoxicated, unforgettable.
He wishes for happiness to remain serene,
Entwined in a thousand nights of love.

Hand in hand, overcoming all obstacles,
He builds sweet happiness beside you.
Both enraptured amidst countless stars,
So even the universe revolves with envy.

Love isn't about calculations or measures,
Together, soothing all pains with clasped hands,
Despite life's storms and tempests.

Thirty years aren't merely sweetness,
Yet with you, the perfect woman,
Our family finds happiness in harmony.

Thirty years, happiness brimming full,
Now surrounded by grandchildren,
Even in old age, love remains complete.

Autumn has passed, Winter returns as promised,
Together, burning with longing once more.
His love will forever overflow,
For a thousand lifetimes...
Only for You.

Happiness within me, a bridge connecting souls
A day in violet attire, bride in love's stroll
Two halves entwined, on a shared path we stroll
From dawn till dusk, together, we console

Happiness within me, not in riches it lies
A tasty dish, a simple veggie surprise
A pot of rice, colorful with roots' ties
With someone, under sun or rain, love implies

Happiness rushes in, in the small village's grace
Days of hardship now past, in a serene embrace
Green gardens vast, painting the sky's space
Filling me with hopes, in plenty to embrace

Happiness in simplicity, deep within I find
Little ones grown, life's chapters entwined
Door to life opened, by arms of love bind
Gathering, weaving together, hearts kind

Happiness myriad hues, vast and wide
In me, love's embrace, a unique stride
Evening sun's rays, countryside's pride
Overflowing, happiness does confide.
