Where is my happiness?

I found it this morning

Tucked inside a little hole I found in the sidewalk

A pebble that looks like blue glass

Hidden within the blades of the grass

Where is my happiness?

I found it this morning with

The rising sun peeking behind the brilliant fall trees

Falling leaves

Looking like flames on the early morning asphalt 

Messages of love 

Written in chalk 

Erased with the early

Morning dew that wipes clean my shoe

Where is my happiness?

I found it this morning

Among the squirrels that play on the rooftops

Chattering heard for miles

Birds flying in freedom away from their nests 

While the clinking of bowls 

Make breakfast for the day

Eggs and bacon create smiles

Inside my tummy

Where is my happiness?

I found it this morning

Running down the slide

Swinging high into the sky

I feel like I am in the clouds

I don’t have to look to find it

Because it is everywhere 

Around within and inside

Of me

Outside I know who I am 

Supposed to be
