Happiness Is Like That
HAPPINESS IS LIKE THAT
See my balloon of happiness rounded beautifully curved
Rising above the storms and troubles surrounding
Bringing smiles and joy to others
- Happiness is like that.
The delicate strength of its skin gives it shape
It is balanced and equalized, well-rounded -
Filled with all the warmed air breathed in from my soothing soul
- Happiness is like that.
It gets larger as it rises in the air
Bigger and bigger as it floats up into the blue
All can see it and smile at its ascent - the sky’s the limit
- Happiness is like that - spreading and enjoyed by all.
If rough winds push it out momentarily of sight
Or if it’s burst from some sharp remark or event -
I simply breathe life into another rising balloon
For happiness is from inside me - happiness is like that.
