WHEN I AM HAPPY






No one will come to know
When I feel happy, today…


The birds will be too busy
To stop and sing for me;
The breeze can’t be too friendly,
And, a Comet is a distant reality!


Still, when I am happy,
The birds sound sweet to me,
The breeze feels gentle…
And the Comets do hold hope!


It is very hot outside, now…
Breeze has come to a standstill,
The Sun is angry…
But then, I am happy
Despite the fact
That the breeze and Sun are not with me.


When I am happy,
The world is an amazing place to be!

HAPPINESS A STATE OF MIND WHICH WHEN FELT LEADS TO AN ENRICHING JOURNEY OF LIFE...AS IF UR EYES AND MINDS ARE SEEING NEW THINGS...IT IS THE SAME SUN WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF HEAT IT RADIATING, YET WE VISUALIZE IT DIFFERENTLY ACCORDING TO THE MOODS WE ARE SET IN.....THEY SAY IF U SHARE HAPPINESS IT GROWS 2FOLD...3 FOLD AND SO ON....SO IF I AM HAPPY TODAY..IT BECOMES MY RESPONSIBILITY TO SPREAD HAPPINESS AROUND ME
