Definitions of Happiness

If you ask me to define
Happiness, a gift of the Divine
It would just be easy for me
As you read this sit under a tree

Definition number one goes like this
Play, go crazy and take care of kids
Be around them they'll fill you with a  bunch of kiss
With their adorable laughs happiness can't be missed

Definition number two is a story many times retold
Look at photos with your loved one's, both new and old
Defined and redefines portrait of growth, sharing, love and joy
Small and big successes from the once tiny messy girls and boys

Definition number three
Happiness is being free
To go and see the beauty of life
Having the faith and just enjoying the drive

Definition  number four
Prepare your memory as we explore
Kindly close your eyes and be steady
Recall at least five top days when you were happy

I listed mine on my journal
Memories in my heart can't be erased but eternal
I actually exceeded my limit of top five happiest days
Because most of my life I'm blessed in many ways

I know you have your own definition
Of the word sometimes that lacks recognition
Happiness that comes in million ways
Count it and expect it all of your days

      Donnington Grove Hotel and Country Club  Newbury RG14 2LA, United Kingdom   8 September 2024 -  A beautiful morning walk around the forest  To walk in your dream  Traveling on clouds beam  Feeling the cold autumn breeze  Enjoying an Italian drunk cheese Faces and paces switch    Different destinations reached                                                                                                             Through a woven extraordinary link  History, culture, and arts flashed in a blink  Giving you goosebumps and fuzzy feelings     Left you in awe in your meandering            ...

Morning of dad's 70th birthday- August 28, 2018 - reading my birthday message <3 <3  1.) You helped me reach for the ceiling and carried me up high when I was small. 2.)

Why I fell in love with the Metro

What happens when you pack your bag and go? To the place that you're uncertain what to sow? You take courage and watch life flow To where you're heart and soul hopes to grow Then you are there carrying the bag of dreams Walking and running toward life's realms You are there with a heart so free So close of becoming of who you want to be Surrounded by very tall buildings Composed of room where telephones ring Sounds like a new place In store is a set of new race When you are pointed in a direction thrice Follow it and don't think twice It is the course prepared for you Take the challenge for it's brand new Then when you reach the door Remind yourself there's something in store Something valuable and beautiful For you to experience a life that is full Then when you get inside Be humble and throw that pride Empty your hands out Let you be filled again with life's art Then when you are part of that race...
