Happiness

Happiness is a special moment
when your focus is on one thing;
You think of nothing else except
the tender joy it brings.

Lost in your lover’s arms;
watching a baby’s enchanting charms;
Glued to the moment you watch autumn-leaves fall;
or see a perfect sunset - one above all.

A moment you spend playing with your pet -
when your hearts are happy and free;
Watching the moon and stars at night -
a moment, in awe, to just see.

Happiness is just a moment -
but lasts a lifetime;
An unforgetable moment
that’s yours to keep for all time.
