All Of These Are Happy Themes



Waking-up after sweet dreams
Smelling coffee from brewed beans
Watching how the sunshine gleams
Hearing happy school-yard screams
Eating favorite ice creams
Instigating impish schemes
Catching shadows from moonbeams
Bathing in warm river streams
Playing on champion teams
Casting for freshwater breams
Finding love just as it seems
All of these are happy themes
