Happiness

Happiness is something that lifts you in the air.
I feel happiest when I open a box with a puppy in there, When everyone is playing a game and being fair, or when I'm with friends playing truth or dare.
I love it when relatives come down to stay or when a friend comes over just having a good day.
Watching a show on T.V. thats really funny, or just sitting there patting a soft warm bunny.
Listening to birds chirping in the trees, walking through a garden with the calm cool breeze.
But sometimes sadness takes over my mind, when someone dies or someone being unkind.
People you know in hospital very very sick, The ambulance rushing up the road going very quick!
But happiness is the mood I prefer,
And it will stay that way forever!
