A Glee
Quickly pass the social glass,
Hence with idle sorrow!
No delay---enjoy today,
Think not of tomorrow!
Life at best is but a span,
Let us taste it whilst we can;
Let us still with smiles confess,
All our aim is happiness!
Childish fears, and sighs and tears
Still to us are strangers;
Why destroy the bud of joy
With ideal dangers?
Let the song of pleasure swell;
Care with us shall never dwell;
Let us still with smiles confess,
All our aim is happiness!

I Must Confess
Today I confess to you
one of my biggest fears
That you don’t feel the same as I do.
Today I confess to you
one of my greatest joys
For this feeling gives me great happiness.
Today I confess to you
my grandest accomplishment
To be able to have this feeling.
Today I must confess to you
That seeing you
Makes me feel complete.
Today I must confess to you
That your touch
Heals all my pain.
Today I must confess to you
what I feel is painful
And it makes it more grand.
Today I must confess to you
That no one shares
What my heart feels for you.
Today I must confess to you
My deepest feeling,
I love you!

It Has Been Done
Will I?
Can I?
Yes,
I adore you.
And that isn't easy,
For someone like me to confess.
Stripped from a wall,
Where my emotions hid.
Kidding myself,
With passions I forbid.
And here you are...
To do to me what you just did!
Will I?
Can I?
Yes,
I adore you.
And that isn't easy,
For someone like me to confess.
You have no idea,
How quickly that has been addressed.
And I am so glad we met,
To pursue together this happiness.
Oh boy...
Will I?
Can I?
Yes,
I adore you.
And that isn't easy,
For someone like me to confess.
Yet...
It has been done!

What Makes Sunshine?
Sunshine
fillled with love and tears
happiness and sorrow
makes the sunny sky
you ask me why tears
why sorrow
with the fading of today
into tomorrow?
tears come
when sunshine makes sorrow
so what is the sunshine you ask?
its tears of happiness
and sorrow of love
its healing pains
sent from above
your heart in two
not for heartbreak
but for tomorrow to come soon
and the sun to be shining
not the moon

Shoe Box
If I take away all my sadness
And cut off all of my problems
While my concerns are blown away
My happiness fits in a shoe box
A size ten shoe box
If I eat my fears with sugar
Then clean my sorrows with alcohol
And I hang my tears to dry
My happiness fits in a shoe box
While I shoot dead my illnesses
And smoke up my doubts
I will bury my insecurities
Then collect my happiness in a box
In a shoe box I keep my smiles
And every time I laugh
I fold my laughter up
Then put it inside my box
Every time my box fills up
I open it up
And let my happiness run loose
Like a smiling drunken goose
If I take away all the bad
And I count every time I had some fun
My box fills up pretty fast
With memories that make me laugh
I only keep my happiness in a shoe box for a little while
I know is not worth it to hide it from the wild
I am the happiest when I’m happy
I laugh the hardest when I love
I learned to look at the brightest side
Happiness is not something you can just go on and hide
I live both with tears and laughters
I just choose to keep my smiles
Tragedies make sweeter my laughter
And tears make my smile much stronger
Happiness is a conscious decision
I have chosen to make this decision
In a shoe box I’ve been keeping my smiles
And every time I laugh
I’ve been folding my laughters up
Then putting them inside my box

Happiness To Me
Does Happiness depend upon comfort? ’
The answer is definitely a big, ‘No! ’
Happiness lies in not comforts alone!
Happiness is not a static quality of the
human mind, body and soul.
All can’t remain happy all the time.
It would be foolishness to wish for a life,
filled with happiness alone;
Life could become boring, when happiness is prolonged.
Even A pauper can be happier than the prince.
Even A beggar smiles and sleeps well, despite much strife.
Happiness is a frame of mind that’s dynamic in nature;
Happiness is a kind of mood of feeling very well;
Happiness is a state of one, when life seems worth living;
Happiness is all within;
Happiness is in giving;
Happiness is in sharing;
Happiness does not depend on comforts;
Happiness cannot be bought by money;
Happiness is not all luxury;
Happiness is in being child-like, though adult;
Happiness is in sacrificing for others’ sake;
Happiness is in doing acts of charity;
Happiness is when you’ve led a righteous life.
Happiness to some is in dreams alone;
Happiness to some doing risky feats;
Happiness to a few is in a sheer lazy life;
Happiness to me is in loving.

Gone Are The Days Of Happiness
Gone are the days of happiness
Cause I made mistakes I confess.
Smiles were on my face now and then.
Anxieties were not in my brain.
Good were the days when you were with me
Sweet were your kisses as it should be.
Hellish life was beyond my dreams
I left you for worse now it seems!

I Just Don't Wan't
I don't want to break this shell
I don't want any one to tell
I just want happiness to dwell
In every phase of my life
In every place where I survive
I just want the happiness drive
It's not that I cannot feel
It's not that it doens't appeal
I just don't want to steal
Others joy and give them tears
When they don't have anyone to share
Nor anyone to tell that they care
I don't want to lose hope
Neither I want to mope
I just want the happiness rope
That won't let me weep
Till I lie down forever to sleep
In earth's lap that is deep
Where no one for me can tell
To stop wishing for happiness to dwell
And to break up my built in shell.

Enjoy
Enjoy these instants afforded you before they pass away.
If love is your password, happiness will mark your stay.
There is no better investment than time with family and friends.
There's no better feeling than the effect that your love sends.
Take time out of each day and enjoy what's important in your life.
Then dismiss time consuming, unimportant things that cause strife.
Enjoy today without worrying about what will happen tomorrow.
Present is past in a moment and time is a thing you can't borrow.
Before clock or events can ever so quickly alter your tenuous fate,
Enjoy, enjoy your wonderful, loving life; it's still not too late!

Friendly Smile
Friendly smiles can bring alot
Joy and fun and pleasure
So try to retain this art
As it is great life's treasure
For when you smile with your heart
It spread joy all along
And bring you life's true fun
To sing you like a song
So give your friendly smiles to all
And make them feel its true
That they are many who truly cares
And wish happiness all for you.

Today is just another day
Today is just another day
Of highs and lows
When the winds blow and the waters flow
Today is just another day
A day to make amends and new friends
For there will come a time it will all end
Today is just another day
We eat and go to work
Some seat and wait for luck
Others cheat giving the sweet talk
Today is just another day
Where we must live for tomorrow
Or give in to everlasting sorrow
Today is just another day
We breathe in the same air
Trying to invent new ideas
Exhibiting passionate care or fear
Today is just another day
While some of us delight in joy
Others will find a way to deploy
Tools to destroy the moments we enjoy
Today is no different from yesterday
Technology the only change in the game
The people are still the same
Looking for one to take on the blame
Always worshipping those with a name
Broken hearts and love keep alive the dying flame
Today is just another day
It will fade away
Quickly into yesterday
Tomorrow then gladly will become today!

One Question One Answer
What is happiness?
Is it a feeling
And if so does it have purpose
Does it have meaning
If you do not have happiness
this feeling
How does one find it
How do you find an emotion, a feeling
is it at a certain destination,
Do you have a map
Now is happiness classified under emotion
if so is it fleeting
passing through your body like tears from crying
anger, sadness
All of which no one wishes to hold in their possesion
Is happiness a tangible jewel a present
We all wish to be happy in some way
You cant look for happiness you cant question its glory
Life wasnt scripted like a musical play
We know where there are tears and no anger or sadnesss
then those are tears of joy
Happiness
We know when we can breath and exhale the weight in our chest and dispel the anger and sorrow
You can smile and breath let go of the pain
In that is happiness that gives hope for tomorrow
Each day hard with trials that can be overcome
That cannot overtake you dont give them room too
Deal with each of them one by one
Everyone can hold, feel, find or achieve this emotion called happiness
only by knowing that life would not be life
without tears, sorrow, pain, or anger
The point is not to wallow in them but wade
Until eventually the tide descends and your making knew footprints
feeling happier

Cup Of Happiness
Drink some joy and some fun
From happiness cup before its done
Because the joy that you get from it
Holds in it pleasure kit
The kit of pleasure from where
Happiness can be gathered my dear
Which includes fun and fain
And friendly smiles to take away pain
So do it all and know in it
Joy will come bit by bit
So drink some joy and some fun
From it before your day is done.

She smiles
She smiles
She smiles
Wondering how to enhance
This handsome strangers eyes
Enchanting behind the mask
Not really an easy task
Her smile once sorrow
newly got borrowed
from a deep found dream
silky as white cream
give hiddden chance
to the most troubled smile
the smile of new desire
creeping along heart wire
aiming heartily ignorance
to tore a welcome smile
from the blushing cheeks
of this handsome strangers eyes
blissful as ever the feeling
of some sudden new pleasure
she smiles and tries
her most seductive smile
power of charm meaning no harm
she just smiles to keep
the glow in his eyes warm

When Happiness Is Contagious
When Happiness Is Contagious
Bright smiles
Comes from within
My frisky mood
Where it is noticeable by others
For Spring is finally here
That my birthday is approaching
To celebrate with DSG
Plus more
When Happiness Is Contagious
That there are no more @-HO's
I survived the biggest ordeal
Only dreams of what may possibly become
For I am not in a state of despair
As there are others in worse predicament
That I'm still alive
When Happiness Is Contagious
For I've learned not to depend on others to make me happy
Where my happiness initiate from me
Laughter induces levity
Smiles enlighten my inner spirit
That the sun is shining through
My love light is glowing
That I'm free as a bird
To conquer new adventures
As life is short to be unhappy
My Words Of Wisdom For Those Of Loss
if loss is for times of grief and tears
then smiles are for times of happiness
but why not smile for sadness and happiness
for you know that once you have past it is nothing but happiness
and it should be for the ones of remembrance as well
the ones left behind here with others just beginning there lives get to keep the memories of the days when you were still around

Law of Life.
Whatever you think today, that will be your tomorrow
Let it be fear, sickness, trouble, happiness or sorrow.
So, be careful what you think or dwell on,
Every second in your life counts, because it will be done.
The past is gone and it was made with your previous thinking,
There is no way to go back and correct as you are wishing.
This is why you have to think over your thoughts and deeds,
What you sow you shall reap, that's where the law leads.
However, if you learned the hard way in your life,
Figured out the meaning of words and thoughts of your strife,
Your future can be the happiest for all the days
If you choose health, good life and true happiness,
They can follow you all the ways.

Be Happy
If you choose to live your life,
This way, that way, any other way,
Make sure you live your life happily,
Enjoy living this life every second, daily,
Have fun that you choose the best,
Have friends to accompany to last,
Have the satisfaction in your heart,
Have faith in you always, not least,
But when thinking of whatever done today,
Should not bring tears in your eyes,
Whatever you do today,
Should not hurt you tomorrow,
Let whatever you do today,
be the extension of yesterday's happiness,
and the foundation for tomorrow's,
Happy memory.

Never delay your desires!
Keep the life always alive
Live every singal moment of happiness
That you can find
May one day you will wake up to see that
The years have passed you by.
And it's too late to reach for your lost desires
So never delay your desires
Do it now
May tomorrow never comes
Be happy and smile
And forget to cry
The life is so short
To think twice
The years slips so fast among your fingers
Between a whiles
The life is a gift
That the God has gave to us
Try to enjoy it as much as you can
And never knee to anything that cuts your way
Never forget that the life has beginning as well as
It has an end too
You will never know where or when
So try to enjoy it till your last breath
Because the time alwajys runs
Try to catch it
While you still have the chance
And never delay your desires
Tomorrow may never comes.

Sonnet-220
I here go again with happiness.
It hit me again; how long it has me hit?
Let me confess; my happy time confess.
I`m happy now, and this my tears admit.
Who`d wails some years for moment quick of joy?
But some quick joy after long woe`s delight!
It is a boy no toy and then some toy.
Take toy away, the joy some time stays bright.
I`m happy now and happy let me think.
I could`ve ahead hours of that called sadness.
Let me this happiness to good just link,
So when sadness arrives not turn to madness.
Let me this happy time with gladness shower,
And it gladly do measure by the hour.
