Happiness

What is happiness? Just sadness a little less. Or maybe a chance, To party n dance. As a matter of fact, Happiness is abstract. Today's sorrow Can make you smile tomorrow. Life is meant to smile, Leave aside your worries for a while. Let the colours fly, Never may a soul cry. To be happy is in your hand, Don't wait for a reason grand. Just look around you, Contented are very few. Happiness needs no occasion, Its a game of positive vision. It can change your life forever, And let you fall never. I, myself smile a lot I maybe happy, maybe not. It doesn't lessen your pain, But, it does help you gain. Its a contagious disease, Let the virus release. Be the reason, for a while, Of someone's precious smile. You might have a frowning brow, But don't let your smile go. Its one thing you can't buy, And still spread to every guy. Hope you get the message behind, Don't be the fox that whined. All I wish to impart, Keep smiling till the world breaks apart. "Smile an everlasting smile, A smile can bring you near to me..." -Malvika
