Happiness

I have learned what happiness is Its something I learned last night Its when someone you love is in danger And the remedy may not be a cure when a heavy load lays on your heart And the prognosis is very unsure You wait through the night and the blackness Your fingernails chewed to the bone Pace up and down in the darkness Knowing you face this alone Will he come back or will he depart I can't stand the tension, its breaking my heart At last it is morning, the dawn breaks at last I turn on my PC, and hope news comes fast At last there's a message, I hold my breath in Is he still with me, I don't want to hear Please don't let it be bad news, I cant take that in I read on the screen through eyes blurred with fear “Sir has come back and the doc says he's great” I let my breath out and burst into tears My darling is back, my sweetheart, my lover With love and good care I'm sure he'll recover My heart is full to bursting, it's pulsating a song of joy Yes I know what happiness is, The return of my darling boy!
