The Happy Place

Mornings delight is present with the laughter of children.

Streets are full with the pitter-patter of little feet
that are out and about.
Each home with a gift on this street! Many seeds with many sprouts!
Laughter and joy fill the air allowing the child in you to cheer again.
Little hearts pound with excitement from all
that is complete and
genuine.

Streets are full with the sounds of our own innocence,
many screams with many shouts.
Little lives engaged with the will
to thrive on this street, not one
with a glimpse of doubt.

"The Happy Place" is what I see,
a place of comfort that carries us back
to where we've already been.

"The Happy Place" holds many things!
The warmest images are portrayed by the innocence of a child's smile.
"The Happy Place" holds many memories.
The face of authenticity is what this child's smile brings.

"The Happy Place" is our gifts in the world
from a most precious child.
Genuine smiles that at once give this world
some truth with our most
pure honesty!
