Happiness

I felt happiness when I first met my little sister Shiloh
She was as warm as a heated blanket
She smelt like a morning rose in the sunlight
She makes my hurt burst with happiness and love
I adore her to bits and she adores me
She felt as soft as a cloud
She looked like an angel from high above
She as pink as a camelia
She was as cuddly as a teddy bear
When she laughs I laugh
That is exactly what I think happiness is.
