Experience the Word
A word like happy means nothing
unless it's experience you've felt
like the old Scots saying goes
'it's better felt than telt'
So happiness is filled with good things
whatever that is to you and me
we are all different in our make up
the same we don't all see
We are all emotional creatures
which tends to ebb and flow
we're filled with different moments
where they come from we don't know
So happiness is more than a word
but that word is important too
it tells us it's truest meaning
for then we can go on and do
AUTHOR NOTES: The Scots saying word 'telt' would mean told in the poem for those not aquanted with Scots words
