Happiness can be
As simple as a smile
A picture perfect sunrise
A long and winding mile

Certain words of kindness
A touch upon the skin
Doors held open joyfully
Inviting to come in

A sparrow on the feeder
A bee upon a rose
The laughter of a child’s voice
Contagious as it grows

Moonbeams on the ocean
Sunlight on the lake
Walking with the one you love
All the time you take

Dancing to the music
Voices heard to sing
Midnight Friday rendezvous’
Are such a lovely thing

Chipmunks on the pathway
Brand new budding leaves
Tiger lilies greet the day
The fresh air that we breathe

A quiet bench for sitting
Nature’s perfect song
Peaceful silent solitude
Whispered all day long

Every bit of tenderness
Your love brings to me
Anytime that I’m with you
Happiness can be
