Constituents of Happiness
Interest, curiosity,
An easy joy,
Tendency
To laugh or giggle, (if you’re young)
And smile (if mature and worldly).
Willingness to say
A yes instead of life-negating nay
Forced, influenced by no one;
Spontaneity
That mothers
Creativity.
With lexicon inadequate
One ponders
(Nice, perhaps a wee un-penetrating)
Sits and thinks (not even that).
Let word suggest itself
(We’re getting there) for understanding
Happiness, its sundry bits; for its
Constituents
Identify
And are the omens of success,
For
Sure.
