Happiness
is a soft bed of clover
a smile in a sea of frowns
a song you play over and over
pinks and oranges as the sun goes down
a bright red popsicle
on a sunny day
bright balloons
and a heart that will love you
anyway
any day
no matter what they say.

This is a short, sweet, light poem that holds no real story but instead of the story it holds a happy emotion.  I like it.
