Happy !

I remember wiggling my toes
and then also my fingers,
I would find enough "joy"
that the feeling still lingers !

I thought I was the happiest I'd been,
until I'd  reach out and do it, again.

I've sipped from the bottle
and drank from the cup
it has warmed up my heart,
and my smile's awakened up!

Just as wide as my smile truly feels,
'twould equal the glee of a child filled with squeals.

Rubbin' my tummy
a pattin' my head,
nothings any worse
than a bad road I've tread;

I'm lucky I get to be me,
life suits me, wonderfully !

I'll now gather my thoughts
leaving humor it's own voice,
it's a healthy combination and I do so by choice !

and when my days on this Earth finally end...
hopefully, "Happy"...will then be a trend !
