The sound of children’s laughter,

A beautiful surprise.

Your happy ever after,

The look in someone’s eyes.

 

A gift you weren’t expecting,

A visitor that calls.

An old friend reconnecting,

A movie that enthrals.

 

A melody that pleases,

A memory that’s jogged.

Those gentle, friendly teases,

An outing, smartly togged.

 

That simple daily pleasure

A lover’s sappiness

All these things you  treasure

Yes, that is happiness
