Here's mine:Toni's Happiness
Happiness is a plate of oatmeal raisin cookies,
Perfect with a glass of milk and savored raisin by raisin, crumb to crumb.
It is the color of morning,
Hues of white, yellow and orange, greeting me "Here's to a beautiful day!"
Happiness is holding hands with my husband,
comforting, warm, safe.
It is the scent of babies,
like powder and lavender combined, innocent and joyful.
Happiness is the sound of family laughing,
akin to the music of wind chimes and warm afternoons.
It is Mother, a crystal bracelet that glitters in the sun, curling up with a good book.
Happiness is divine.
