Analysis of What is happiness?
You are one year old,
You call her 'ma',
And she drops her tears,
Those tears are happiness.
You are three,
You were learning to write on paper,
You write and rub thousands of times, and you learn,
That tore paper is happiness.
You are eight,
You are learning to ride a bicycle,
You fall thousand's of times, with wounds and finally you learn,
Those wonds are happiness.
You are ten,
You are learning football,
You hit the window and it breaks into pieces,
Those broken pieces are happiness.
You are fifteen,
You are in love,
You see the star and smile,
That smile is happiness.
Its when you grow old,
Some snaps, you see with your friends and group,
You feel something in your heart,
That feeling is happiness.
Sometimes comes with tears,
Sometimes with the tore paper,
Sometimes it is hidden in the wound,
Sometimes it is in the smile,
And sometimes in broken things...
But you know what actually is HAPPINESS??
IT IS WHEN YOU THINK OF THOSE MOMENTS!!
Tears drop from your eyes,
You get goosebumps all over,
Memories flash back. You cry...
Yup!! This iS HAPPINESS!!!
