Happiness is

To wake in the morning and hold the sun in your hand

To see a dream come to be after thoughts you had planned

To laugh with a child and to share in her tears

To hold and protect to belay all her fears

 

The sound of a blackbirds enchanting sweet song

To admit to yourself when you know you are wrong

To shout out aloud when you know your alone

To make good of a sin, to admit, to atone

 

To bathe **** in the moonlight with the one you adore

To win or to lose to miss or to score

To feel dew-wet-grass, slowly squeeze through your toes

To share with the bees the delights of a rose

To write to compose to compile to make prose

 

To go on a diet, then to fit into your cloths

To be happy with life to make do with your lot

To finish a poem to the end with a dot.
