Happiness
I have learned what happiness is
Its something I learned last night
Its when someone you love is in danger
And the remedy may not be a cure
when a heavy load lays on your heart
And the prognosis is very unsure
You wait through the night and the blackness
Your fingernails chewed to the bone
Pace up and down in the darkness
Knowing you face this alone
Will he come back or will he depart
I can't stand the tension, its breaking my heart
At last it is morning, the dawn breaks at last
I turn on my PC, and hope news comes fast
At last there's a message, I hold my breath in
Is he still with me, I don't want to hear
Please don't let it be bad news, I cant take that in
I read on the screen through eyes blurred with fear
“Sir has come back and the doc says he's great”
I let my breath out and burst into tears
My darling is back, my sweetheart, my lover
With love and good care I'm sure he'll recover
My heart is full to bursting, it's pulsating a song of joy
Yes I know what happiness is,
The return of my darling boy!
