HAPPINESS IS



   HAPPINESS IS
 Coffee in the morning.
 Heeding the warning.

    HAPPINESS IS
  The kids next door.
  Wiping out an old Score.

     HAPPINESS IS
  Children when they Laugh.
  Looking at your better Half.

     HAPPINESS IS
  Ice cold coke Cola.
  A date with a girl named Lola.

       HAPPINESS IS
  A family that drives you Crazy.
  A co-worker that isn't Lazy.

    HAPPINESS IS
  Taking care of your Pet.
  Finding your favorite Cassette.

     HAPPINESS IS
  Coming home to Mom.
  Hanging with Auntie Tom.

     HAPPINESS IS
  Time spent with Siblings.
   A new Beginning.

     HAPPINESS IS
  Winter and cool Weather.
  When we band Together.

     HAPPINESS IS
  A 3:00 A.M. Conversation.
  A stretch of the Imagination.

   HAPPINESS IS
  An inside Job.
  Not owing money to the Mob.

    HAPPINESS IS
  Homemade.
  Making the Grade.

   HAPPINESS IS
  Being kind.
  A state of Mind.
