Ode To Happiness Poem by Mary Gilliam

I strive to be with you always.
You feel like the sun on my skin.
You smell like spring rain.
You taste like chocolate melting in my mouth.
You look like my friends dancing,
Clumsily at 3 am.
You sound like my laughter.

Oh happiness, never leave me!
You look beautiful like roses.
You always remind me how to live
You sneak up on me,
Like kittens playing.

Oh happiness,
You are when I smile for no reason.
I love you sweet happiness!
Happiness you simply make me happy!
