Happiness is a smile <br />In the heart - <br />The thought of someone brings. <br />Happiness is pretty days <br />With blue skies <br />And angels singing. <br />Beyond the dark <br />I feel like a true native <br />Woodland princess! <br />With the sun in my heart <br />I've found America's happiness. <br />Flashbacks of a black bear started <br />While I played the piano. <br />The memory of the Sierra came back from long ago. <br />When the bear appeared I wished to run <br />Far away to L.A. - <br />Santa Monica - a village next to how the mountains play. <br />Happiness is mother earth's bright sunshine in the wilderness. <br />A golden treasure the wild past gives us is deep peaceful bliss.<br /><br />Gayle Sweeney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/america-73/
