Happiness

You see it in the smiles on your friends and families faces at your birthday party.

You hear it in the laughter of young girls as they play dress-ups with their friends.

You taste it by bitting into a piece of chocolate as you watch your favourite TV show.

You smell it in the cupcakes that are cooling on the bench waiting to be eaten.

You feel it as you pat a soft, fluffy kitten and watch it fall asleep on your lap.
