Being Eternally Happy

Someone asked me what it meant to be eternally happy
I closed my eyes and thought of you
I pictured your smile, your laugh, your grace, and your style
All the things that drew me to you in the beginning
Of course you would make me feel this way
I love you and everything about you, there's no denying that
But I reassessed the question
What does it mean to be eternally happy?
To be eternally happy means to be at peace with God
Living him, breathing him, and most importantly knowing him
You can be happy with anything or anyone
But there is a love that's greater than any
One that is known and cherished by many
A love that only he can employ
A love that was put on this earth for all to enjoy
Eternal happiness isn't materialistic, its much, much, more
Its knowing in your afterlife you can walk throught heaven's door
And sit side by side holding a conversation with sweet angels and be okay
While reuniting with loved ones lost along the way
Its knowing you're free and rid of all sin
And the only way to love is to let him in
People say that making friends is hard
And loving isn't easy when it doesn't come from within
Eternal happiness can be achieved once you've found God
And know that it is in him that you have a true friend
So let's pose this question once again
What's your eternal happiness and does it come from within?
