Happiness is the first rain that breaks the drought,
           Seeing the joyful faces on farmers all about.
Happiness is a young child soaring high on a swing,
           Feeling as free as a bird on the wing.	
Happiness is a clean report of health from the medical test,
           Knowing the old ticker is good, makes me feel my best.
Happiness is knowing the whole family is home snug and warm,
           When thunder, lightning, hale and wind rage in the storm.
Happiness is that wagging tail, whimpers saying glad you’re home,
           The slobbery toy he brings to encourage you never to roam.
Happiness is that first burst of soothing warm water in the shower,
           On a freezing cold winter’s day it gives you such power.
Happiness is the first white flowers of Jasmine telling me its spring,
            The beautiful perfume filling the air those tiny flowers bring.
Happiness is sitting at the end of the day with a good job done, 
           Just relaxing with him watching the setting of the sun.
Happiness is that tight hug at the airport that lasts for so very long, 
            So glad to see each other, because our love is so strong.
Happiness is my prayer of thanks at the end of the day and into the night,
            Thanking our lord for keeping them safe and allowing all to go right.

I wonder if anyone smiled as I soared on the swings as a child. I felt free and wild. Congratulations, Speaks Volumes!

SV, This is quite a wonderful and personal poem - I am sure we could all add our own individual happinesses too. The marvellous thing is the reminder this brings to be grateful, count our blessings daily as it really helps us to enjoy them while they are with us. A significant poem for today Sx

You are so right Sam, this one was entirely personal, It just flowed from the things that do truly make me happy (away from Soup).. Loads of things make me happy at Soup, but that's for another poem. .lol.. Thanks for your kind words.
