Happiness
By Lauren R. Mort
Happiness is of the simple things,
To wake up smiling in the morning
Without a care of what the day will bring,
A purr from a perfect cat
That snuggles up to me.
A bird who sings with a voice of joy
While I savor this cup of tea;
In the garden of green
Quite full of pretty things,
With the mesmerizing perfume
From the many flowered trees.
The giggles of small children,
And the sparkle in their eyes,
As they skip along carefree
With a happy train of mind.
Sleeping outside
On a cool summer night,
Having stars to gaze upon
And crickets as a lullaby.
Laughing over silly things,
Finding excitement in normal life,
To cherish every moment
Where happiness resides.
