Happiness is when your kids are shining brighter than sun,
When you`re surrounded by smiles of your beloved ones,
When you take obstacles as climbing stairs towards the best
And feel no laziness in running forward with no rest.
Happiness is not elusive like a butterfly, it`s in your heart,
It is tiny threads paving your longest path through the dark.
It`s not how old you are or on the contrary how young,
It is how clearly you see that you too are warmed by sun.
You too are blessed by God and have a right to shine bright,
You too can try and weave your dream from threads of light.
Happiness is being active towards your own precious life,
Ups and downs, only failure leads to prize in daily strife.
If you are followed by successes only, you will fail soon,
Impassive toward the fighting, plunged in cage of gloom.
Happiness is how you feel the human core inside yourself,
Whether you`re open for others at any time to offer help,
Whether you are dawned upon with spark of human love,
You`ll be treated the same, all is written in a book above.
Happiness is loving others more than own ego or greed,
Happiness is to open your big heart to save those in need.
Happiness is not relative though it is not properly defined,
It is your conscience and will power to see the light divine.
Happiness is composed of hugest steps towards success,
Not material one but the spiritual healing of being blessed.
It is a long way through thorns and scattered barbwire,
Through murky dark and spinning wheels of loss and fire
And only if you haven`t lost ability to stand on feet and try,
Happiness will sit peacefully on your shoulder like a butterfly.
