Happiness

When I awaken in the morning And I do not feel a pain, When my coffee pot is gurgling I feel happiness again. When I check with all my loved ones And they’re just as well as I, When my friends who have been ailing, Say they’re better, my oh my! I’m happy! When my to-do list's checked off And I still am feeling fine, When I look for contest winners And the first name there is mine! I’m happy! When none of the bloggers worry About what has been said or not When the box I thought was empty Has a chocolate I forgot, I’m happy! When my kitties are both healthy And my cupboard isn’t bare, When I read obituaries And my own name isn’t there, I’m happy! Sitting by my blazing fire With more fuel in the hod, Searching deep in soul to find I am quite alright with God. I’m happy! Won a second in Carol's contest
