An Ode to Spring! ( Revisited)

I was searching around on my Blog and I found this silly little poem I wrote... even though spring is still like a month away I figure we should celebrate the last days of winter with this poem! Enjoy :)

Spring , Spring you seem, so near.

Spring spring you give me cheer.

You bring hope of sunshine so bright.

That just thinking of you it lights up my night.

Spring I can see you now

Winter please don't have a cow

So please stop bringing more snow

And please stop making the wind blow!

Spring spring your finally here

Spring spring to bring everyone cheer

the grass is getting greener every day

and flowers are popping up to play.

Happiness

So for the past couple of days I have had a song stuck in my head. You know the one that talks about "Happiness is two scoops of ice cream...." or maybe you don't. This cute little singing group from where I grew up sang it at one of their concerts. Anyways so I have been reflecting on the state of happiness and what it really is, and I have come to decide that happiness is not something you can define because it is different for everyone. For me happiness really can be two scoops of (chocolate) ice cream or it could be as simple as spending time with good company, whereas to someone clear across the world they could hate ice cream and what makes them happy is brussel sprouts ( I am not saying that I hate brussel sprouts.... to be honest I don't even know if have ever tried them). I hope wherever you are today that you can find your "Two scoops of ice cream" and I wish you all the laughter that this world can give :)
