Looking For Happy

I once knew of an intimate warm place 
it was inside your arms soft closed embrace 
we were young and the sky was always blue
words meant a lot and for us still rang true 

time had no alarm and held no meaning 
your every smile touched my inner being 
we lived a life of light and love as one 
many hours spent sizzling in the beach sun 

drifting in our haze we woke up one day 
no memory of Happy’s merry way 
nine months later we found an unworn path 
leading to a new place and aftermath 

bouncing baby’s breath brought back our happy 
despite her friendship with dirty nappy
