Happiness Is

Happy is well-being, when beauty's in the seeing. Happiness is quiet calm, a balm like a psalm. Happy is bees' knees, not knowing of bees' knees being! Happiness is the calming balm of a love's gentle palm. 4th Place Rhyme battle: Happiness: Round 8 Sponsor: Juli-Michelle 8/9/17

"not knowing of bees' knees being!" There's a line to aspire to. I would never have come up with that. Great rhymes Dale! -- Dean
