Don't remember if it was a television preacher, or a self help program, but the question was asked what defined happiness. . .I didn't wait to see how they defined happiness, I turned the channel, but the thought stayed with me . . . .what defines my happiness. This poem "Happiness Defined" was written in 2011, and published in a literary magazine entitled "Heavy Hands Ink".
Happiness Defined
feeling my wife's heartbeat against my own,
seeing my child smile,
a good book and a bottle of wine,
the sun on my back,
my dog on my lap,
after the lawn mowed,
an afternoon nap,
the list endless . . . . . . . .
