Happiness

Happiness is when we fall in love
with that one you know is right
Happiness is that feeling we had
when we learned to fly a kite

Happiness is a cool, cool breeze
on a warm and sunny day
Happiness is when the kid next door
always asks us out to play

Happiness is when you're by yourself
and there's no one else around
Happiness is when you played hide and seek
and you were never, ever found

Happiness is that moment in time
when we start to fall asleep
Happiness is an amazing feeling 
That you'll do anything to keep

I love to be within this realm
of cheerful happiness
'Cause it's full of delight, exuberance and joy
mixed with pleasure, rapture and bliss

Hi Roger, I just stumbled upon this cheerfully expressed well written poem. To be happy we do not need to go after something exceptional; tiny things can be as effective, or even more. Enjoy all those delightful nouns mentioned in the final 2 lines. // paul

Imagine me and you, I do I think about you day and night, it's only right To think about the girl you love and hold her tight So happy together If I should call you up, invest a dime And you say you belong to me and ease my mind Imagine how the world could be, so very fine So happy together............. ---- That's what your poem reminds me of.... always~ LINDA

Roger, here's a copy paste from your dearest friend Linda, ***,I like happiness, when the time is right. Roger, I'm outside as happy as can be. Do you know why? Because the sun is much lovelier when reading poems like this. But, I do have a down side to happiness. If something or someone makes me happy, I move away. Do you know why? Because, I'm the kind of person who's always relying on happiness. And through the years, I noticed that sadness comes when happiness up and leaves. So on a logic note to myself: Happiness Starts with me, don't look at the sun to long. The moon will be out soon..... you Rock Roger .... Luv -PD Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android *** I do hope you enjoy her confusing comment. lol. - Luv- SKAT

I guess I understand it as much as you do. Please let her know that there is no happiness without sadness. They both come together as a pair that can not be separated. One can't be without the other. We can't go on with life worrying about falling off the happiness wagon and into sadness. If we do, we will miss out on so much that life has to offer. Just do the best we can with what the good lord has given us. And we will be OK. Happiness is how we live and how we think. Nothing more. Thanks skat. Will you let her know I miss her voice.........hugs.....luv......Roger
