That Makes Me Very Happy
Febuary 6, 2026
By Rose Marie Rideout 

When I wake each morning and 
I see you there beside me,
You feel me looking at your face and 
Open your eyes to say, I Love You Honey.
That makes me very happy.

When I'm in the kitchen cooking and 
You put your arms around me and 
Tell me how much you love me
With those five kisses you always share.
That makes me very happy.

When you tell me I'm beautiful but
I don't see me as you do
You tell me I haven't changed a bit but
I think, it's been fifty years dear.
That makes me very happy.

Each time you have to go out
You come home with something for me
You say Honey I always think of you
You are always on my mind.
That makes me very happy.

When you say to me how lucky you are
That you could never live without me
How proud you are, that I'm your wife
That you'll always make sure I come first.
That makes me very happy.

When we are out and you hold my hand
You bring me back to our yesterdays
When you kiss me in public, never ashame
And offer to take me anywhere I choose to go.
That makes me very happy.

I don't need fancy clothes or money
I don't need expensive things
I'm happy with your love alone and
The ways you seem to show it dear.
That's what makes me very happy.
