What Makes Me Happy?

The softness of down as it cradles my head The feeling of warmth as I lay here in bed The smell of perfume as it’s lingering sweet A long stretching road set there, for my feet A smile in the morning from the many I see The ocean, its vastness, which calls out to me All children’s laughter, as it sounds in the air The smell of the lilacs, as I play with your hair The sun in the morning, the moon there at night Seeing children play safely, as kites then take flight The birds in the heaven just set there to soar A roof there above and below there, a floor Just enough riches to share with my friends Seeing that all struggles then come to an end Life, its whole purpose is just being carefree These are the things that will make me happy
