Happiness is ….

A boiled egg on a Sunday morn

The flight of birds on a field of  corn

A trusting smile from a loving daughter

The splash and dance of running water.

A winning goal in extra time

A memory held in childhood rhyme

A pint of ale with a trusted friend

The touch of a loved one at one’s end.

A phrase  in a song with a magic chord,

The swish and thrust of Zorro’s sword

A painting where one can enter in –

A rested, silent  violin.
