Chasing Happiness


Happiness is Riding a bike at late night                   

amidst the squeals and yelps from your friends                     

Happiness is getting high on a rainy day                                                      

With Bum Chums pouring in pell mell 

Happiness is an ice cream cone                                       

with a chocolate coating,                                            

and lots and lots of sprinkles.                                      

Happiness is a child’s laughter.                                     

Happiness is two people holding hands                                

while walking dreamily in the park.                                 

 Happiness is two people in love

oblivious to the harsh realities of life                             

Happiness is the splashing of the waves                              

while sitting under the stars on the beach.                      

Happiness is the sounds of a carnival,                               

with rides, laughter, and games.                                     

Happiness is winning a toy                                           

from the dart game at the fair.

Happiness is gorging on your favourite cuisine

Without Caring about your workout regime

Happiness is a smile

on a cloudy, dreary day.

Happiness is getting an unexpected call

From a person who has faded away

Happiness is sharing a 'real' smile

with your mom at the end of the day

Happiness is helping someone

from deep within your heart.

Happiness is dining out at a very

special place, on a very special day.

Happiness is saying, “I do”.

Happiness is a leisurely Sunday drive

down a peaceful country road.

Happiness is all of this

and much, much more.

Happiness is in your mind.
