On the Spot

Night is cold 
Heart is warm enough
To show the world 
That I am tough.

I close my eyes
Put a smile on my face
And take myself 
To a happy place.

I open my eyes 
Proceed with my night
Knowing my happy place
Will always be bright.

My pleasure, being with people I care about is my happy place. If they are happy, all the better.

What is your happy place? You have captured the emotion, however I am wanting you to develop the photograph. This feels like the beginnings of something special.
