Happiness is like a beautiful butterfly
The more you chase it away,
it soars high
But leave it alone,
and sit down at peace
It will settle near, and then grasp it with ease
Happiness is like a delightful rainbow
With a spectrum of hues, it does glow
It adds the shades of colour to a day long
And fills Life with tinges of rhyme and song
Happiness is like a candle bright
Its flame brightens the shadowy night
Its radiance spreads the rays of cheer
Its sparkle ends the darkness of fear
Happiness is in moments, big and small
Happiness comes from within above all In a word,
a thought, a deed, or a smile
Happiness makes living feel worthwhile
