THE MEANING OF HAPPINESS - by Pauline Oliver

         

As I pondered the meaning of happiness
I sat and thought awhile
The outwards signs are clear enough
Sparkling eyes and a beaming smile

        

 

And inwardly how can one tell
Or guage this emotion intact
For it blends with many others
To me that is a fact

                

Joy, Pleasure and Ecstasy
As friends together band
Difficult to separate
For they go hand in hand.
