Happiness
By Kathy Armijo
How is happiness defined?
Is it love?
Could be!
Is it the dawn of a new day?
Could be!
Is it the sounds of laughter?
Could be!
Is it triumph over adversity?
Could be!
Is it a state of mind?
Could be!
When you envision happiness, it fills your heart with joy.
Happiness makes you feel warm and cozy.
Sometimes happiness makes you want to jump and shout.
There’s obviously no doubt –
Happiness leaves no room for pouts.
Happiness is what life’s all about!
Happiness is what makes your heart yearn for more.
Happiness makes you feel like you’re forty or four.
Happiness conjures feelings of ecstasy.
To live your life with happiness is to be full of glee.
“Let a smile be your umbrella. Or, Smile, and the world wonders what you’re up to.”
These are synonymous with happiness.
When you think of happiness, you think of silliness.
Oh, to be wild and curious.
Live your life with gusto.
Be happy!
Share your happiness.
“Give in” to liveliness.
When I think of happiness, I think of you and me.
When I think of happiness, I celebrate all that life can be.
When I think of happiness, I remember yesterday and relish today,
All the while planning for tomorrow.
When I think of happiness, I eliminate sorrow.
Whatever your definition of happiness, remember –
Life is exhilarating, for there may be no tomorrow!
Gotta quote the Beatles here..."Can't by me love"

Love this poem Kathy!
Wild is an extension of confidence and that is truly happiness!And, happiness is not many friends every where you turn~ It's more about a life perception. family/etc.

Happiness is peace in the world.
Happiness is finding the light in your soul and spreading lightness toward mankind.
This is what happiness is to me..
Thank you for such a beautiful poem, Kathy. Your words make me happy!

You and your poem are infectious my friend. "Happiness is the now of a tomorrow that may never be." Bless You Always, Paul.
This part of your poem is powerful and meaning to me.
"All the while planning for tomorrow.
When I think of happiness, I eliminate sorrow.
Whatever your definition of happiness, remember –
Life is exhilarating, for there may be no tomorrow!"
Sorrow is hard to eliminate and yes happiness can and is a wonderful temporary solace from sorrow….especially if the sorrow has such deep and entangled roots. Happiness is a breath of fresh air to those of us who have suffered great loss in our lives, whether the loss is from childhood, loss of innocence, loss of pet, loss of best friends, loss of a family member, loss of job….the list goes on and on. Yes, happiness is all that you mention and without it, life would be so hard to bear.
Be safe,
Karen
