Little Ways To Happiness
The little ways to happiness
Are not so hard to find;
They may not lead to starry heights
But to a tranquil mind.
A peeping flower, an open book,
A song of cheer, or word of praise;
The Sun’s bright smile, the zephyr’s* kiss,
Are signposts to the happy ways.
The touch of love or sympathy,
A friendly hand to grasp,
Or sharing thoughts with one more dear
In understanding clasp;
The laughter of a child at play,
Or trusting doggy eyes;
Life shows us every day some joy
That any one of us might prize.
