Happiness

The child of yours – first step and word The sight unseen, the sound unheard And kitten purring on your lap Get to adore a real catnap The lotto ticket which has won And love that makes you feel reborn To eye a friend, long-lost and found Your troubles gone and you’re unbound Ski wind is whistling, downward slope Research’s complete and offers hope Blue sea, white beach and cares gone The two of you meet reddish dawn An open road, beguiling forth At home on planet we call Earth Good book that shakes you to the bone Lovemaking with the sweetest groan “Dead presidents” are joy to hold Remain healthy growing old The old jeans fit, ain’t that a bliss Remember your sweethearts’ first kiss? We crave long life and seek delight Yet everyone sees different light List incomplete, I know it’s true So what is happiness to you? © 2022
