Happiness is waking up, looking at the clock,
and finding that you still have two hours left to sleep. Happiness is a side dish of french fries. Happiness is a new
sweatshirt on a cold Saturday morning. Happiness is winning an argument with your sister. Happiness is having
something to look forward to. Happiness is the best seat at the parade. Happiness is having the bell ring just as you
are being called on to recite. Happiness is a big muscle. Happiness is loving your enemies. Happiness is hearing the
hearing the pediatrician say, "No, I guess she won't have to have a shot." Happiness is an autographed baseball.
Hapiness is being tickled under the chin. Happiness is coming home from the hospital. Happiness is a circus balloon.
Happiness is being named "Best in Show." Happiness is finally getting your big teeth. Happiness is a stack of old
comic books. Happiness is a Christmas vacation with no book reports to write. Happiness is catching snowflakes on
your tongue. Happiness is surprising your Dad by shoveling the sidewalk before he gets home. Happiness is licking
the bowl. Happiness is playing cards with Grandma. Happiness is sleeping in the back seat on the way home.
Happiness is getting all your Christmas "thank you" letters written. Happiness is singing "Blessed Assurance" at
Camp Meeting. Happiness is wearing the band from your Dad's cigar. Happiness us being too sick to go to school,
but not too sick to watch TV. Happiness is being able to walk home from school without having to worry about getting
getting beaten up. Happiness is a sad song. Happiness is knowing
you've made it through one more day.
Happiness is a Sad Song
