Happiness Is-

A new baby calf, just minutes old
A warm snuggly blanket if you are cold
Your sweetheart’s hand to hold

Having someone on whom to depend
Sharing your secrets with a friend
Knowing that heaven will never end

Laughing until your sides ache
A big piece of birthday cake
Camping out at the lake

A good rain shower in summertime
Knowing you will always be mine
Writing a poem and making it rhyme

Yard sales with treasures galore
A hungry child asking for more
A cool breeze coming through the door 

Making up after a fight
Big strong arms to hold me tight
Standing up for what is right
