Mere Happiness

tiny kiss with hugs
soars an old heart to great heights
a child is amazing…

so careful they love;
everyone and everything.
extravagant smiles;
little minds that never sleep,
big hearts that remain vigil.

happiness is small
enough to carry and hold
precious little child…

Good luck in the contest. "Happiness is small / Enough to carry and hold" that's a nice expression about the little rugrats.
