Is happiness
When your eyes light up
Over a good cup of coffee
Is happiness
When the leaves
Eat the soft light of fall
Is happiness
The feeling of being appreciated
After a long, hard effort
Is happiness
Hearing the cheers of your team
After the winning shot
Is happiness
Finding a good book
To read while watching the rain
Is happiness
Giving a gift to a friend
That you worked so hard to buy
Is happiness
When your kitten
Purrs in your warm hand
Is happiness
When someone
Enjoys your artwork
Is happiness
When you remember
A birthday or special time
Is happiness
The taste of a cookie
Straight from the oven
Is happiness
Feeling like you
Can open your heart to another
Is happiness
Waking up to a roof
Over your head and love all around
Is happiness
The beat of your feet
On the sidewalk as your heart works
Is happiness
The money you give to the man
On the sidewalk with nowhere to sleep
Is happiness
As small and simple
As this
