A Little Layer of Happiness
A LITTLE LAYER
OF HAPPINESS
IT'S SOMETIMES LIKE
A CAKE WITHIN
IT ALWAYS BEARS
A MOLD
WITHOUT IT LEAVES
YOU QUIET
WITH WISHES
FROM CARES
YOU HOLD
A LAYER
OF FROSTING
OF LIFE
A SLICE OF LOVE
AND CHEER
A HEART THAT KNOWS
EACH DAY TO TRUST
AWAY FROM THE
KNIVES OF FEAR
A LITTLE LAYER
OF HAPPINESS
IT'S LIKE A MOUTH
THAT FEEDS
AND WITH EACH
OPENING
A TRUE REPOSE
IT MEETS US
IN OUR NEEDS
A LITTLE LAYER
OF HAPPINESS
OF A HEART
THAT HOLDS
IT'S OWN
SO LIKE A CAKE
THAT WE CAN
TAKE
IT NEEDS A HEART
A HAPPY HOME
A LITTLE LAYER
OF HAPPINESS
LIKE A CAKE
FROM THE MOLD I
IT STANDS
NOT TO BE MISSED
IT CAN BE KISSED
WITH HEARTS
AND HELPING
HANDs
SO BE A
HEALTHY EATER
OF DREAMS
OF HOPES
WITH PLANS
LET A LITTLE LAYER
OF HAPPINESS
BE THE RECIPE
OF 'HOWS' AND
'CANS'
AND SET ASIDE
THE MYSTERY
OF MIXES
THE MAKERS
CHOOSE
JUST TAKE
A BITE OF
HAPPINESS
THAT YOU
NEVER
COULD
OR
SHOULD
REFUSE
