Happiness-Acrostic

Happiness, the state of laughter and joy 
Abandoning the abuse cage of woe, glum, and despair 
Place yourself around loved ones you know that give
Positive criticism to become the person you decide to be 
Inspiring you to grow and improve your world
Nourishing hope, faith, and trust
Enabling that acknowledgement to show,      
Shouts   echo of glowing encouragement      leaving an impact of harmony
Summer sunset shinning smiles sloppy kisses of greetings from your dog
