My Happiness

My happiness is not but alongside green fields and vast mountains.
It longs for crystal clear waters rolling up white sands or down dark, smooth pebbles.
It is full of the joy of chirping birds and galloping wild horses,
It is windy and carries red dry leaves and colorful, fluttering butterflies.
My happiness is that of deep blue skies crowded with pregnant white clouds,
That of cool desert dunes under starry night skies, lightened by full moons and fireflies.

The joy that overwhelms my soul wouldn't be without laughing kids,
Dear friends, the smiles of all whom I cherish;
The warm arms of my beloved, the round, sweet face of my own child.
My happiness only exists within love; it feeds from it
For, in this world, nothing else matters.
