"Happiness"

“Happiness”

What is happiness? 

Happiness is the morning sun, throwing rays of light through the window when you wake up,

It’s the first snow, sending its crystal flakes dancing in the air,

It’s the summer rain, it’s droplets falling softly on the warm skin,

It’s the cold breeze of the ocean, calling you inside.

Happiness is listening to your favourite song for the millionth time, 

It's the re-read of your favourite book,

It’s going through the photos that hold important memories,

It’s taking a lone walk, appreciating everything around.

It’s the warm feeling of being proud of yourself.

Happiness is a smile from a stranger on the street,

It’s the late-night conversations with people you adore,

It’s sharing your clothes and makeup with your best friend,

It’s giving a piece of your soul to someone.

Happiness is seeing your parents happy,

It’s old people dancing in the streets as if no one is watching,

It’s smiling at the thought of someone,

It’s all the little things around,

Happiness is the way people love.

You share beautiful thoughts here, and none of them cost a penny. I see you are a lover of nature like myself. It is morning here and the sun is streaming through my window on a very cold and crisp day. My mood is happy. Thank you for sharing such lovely thoughts Hannah. You have added value to my day.

This is very well done. Usually I don't bother to read these types since I prefer books or short stories, but for whatever reason I read this and enjoyed it. It made me smile.

Such a beautiful poem filled with every day things that define happiness. And that is how it should be, happiness is easy as long as it is how you chose to be. really felt good reading this.

Ah yes... these things are happiness, indeed. And the list only gets bigger the older you get. Very nice list, wording, and pacing. At least in my opinion ;-)
