In the heart of a quiet morning,
When sunlight kisses the sleepy sky,
A whisper of happiness softly wakes,
Like petals blooming where dreams lie.
It dances in the ripple of streams,
A melody carried on the breeze,
Found not in gold or glittering crowns,
But in moments as small as these.
A child’s laughter echoes pure,
A spark of wonder in curious eyes,
A hug that wraps the soul in warmth,
A love unspoken, yet never disguised.
Happiness wears no grand attire,
It hides within a stranger’s smile,
A shared glance, a helping hand,
The beauty of walking that extra mile.
It lives in rain and daisy fields,
In autumn leaves and starry nights,
In stories told by crackling fires,
And every triumph after a thousand fights.
Seek not far, nor chase it wide,
For joy is woven in the now,
A gentle breath, a quiet peace—
The gift of life, the here, the how.
