Evolution of Happiness

To soothe A crying babe Mother Presents her breast And hums A melodic tune Soft Gentle strokes On an infant’s cheek His face Brightens Reaching up For a father’s arms To stretch down Meet his gesturing Little arms Squeeze and choke His father’s neck He releases And grabs his chin To look his dad Face on And plants a kiss With sound effects On his father’s lips “Why, Thank you little man.” The little man smiles And returns to chocking His dad She met her best friend’s eye’s Mirroring Each other’s smile Running to meet With flailing arms Jumping to some Primal dance “We won, we won.” She never felt so happy And to do it With her best friend Just made her smile Even bigger His heart Thumping In his chest Sweaty palms Thoughts of self-doubt Worth Appearance Intelligence And courage Courage to ask To ask “Will you marry me? She smiled up at him “Yes” His world collapsed Into a singularity Of Happiness It took her a long time A life time Failed pregnancies Divorce Hatred The hatred Of self Her career Her looks God, she hated her life But slowly Slowly She worked through them Resolved Her inner turmoil's Or came to terms With those issues That plagued her thoughts And self esteem Stopping her From finding Inner peace Sine qua non Of Her happiness
