What is happiness?


What is Happiness? 

Happiness is two kinds of ice cream, finding love, telling the time

Happiness is learning to whistle or sharing a lime

Happiness is playing on the beach in the sand and happiness is walking hand in hand

 

Happiness is five different crayons, knowing a secret, climbing a tree

Happiness is finding a nickel, catching a firefly, and setting him free

Happiness is being alone now and then, and happiness is coming home again 

 

Happiness is having a sister, sharing a sandwich, singing a song 

Happiness is being together when the day is though

And happiness is having someone who loves you
