What Is Happiness
What is happiness
just one emotion
fleeting through time
we should not feel happy
all of the time
you should not feel happy
when telling a lie
you should then feel sad
ashamed and quite dry
you should not feel happy
when loved ones are lost
at times of great sadness
your tears are just fine
when somebody hurts you
and crippled with pain
it's hard to feel happy
cause life is a drain
you have a right
to feel what you feel
yet it's true,
people do live in their pain
with grey colour glasses
they see only rain
happiness is
the road they should take
learn to have love
with laughter and games
learn to bake cakes
and take family time
