Write about a "happy ending".

If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story. ~~Orson Welles


Happy endings are but new beginnings,
a going forward, if you will.
You may have reached new levels,
but there are yet more, even still!

A 'happy ending' is not static:
The sun sets as they walk away--
But there always is tomorrow
and tomorrow is another day.

A goal is reached with happy smiles,
but then the world won't freeze in place.
There will always be new goals to set,
new dreams to form and then to chase.

A wedding might 'seem' a happy ending
but in truth that race hasn't yet begun.
The dream job reached comes with issues
and new 'problem-races' to be run.

A happy ending is just a pit stop
on this journey we partake.
A string of these is the dream
to fuel the choices we all make.
