Have you ever felt the happiness that resides, that resides in that glass that is being filled with the favourite drink of yours. The happiness when the shopkeeper forwards his hand full of sweets towards you. The happiness that is there when you open your new school books. The happiness that is mixed with the aroma of your favourite food. Have you ever felt? The happiness that stands by your side, when you are waiting eagerly for the breakfast at your table, or the happiness that dances with you, whenever someone appreciates your holardwork. The happiness that sits by your side, when you are doing your Favorite home work. Or the happiness that sleeps in your arms, everytime your day is full of light. Have you ever felt the happiness, that is stirred in that tea, when you’re watching the rain dropping down, on the yellow, green and red leaves. Have you ever felt the happiness, that sets in your heart after you have those long talks all night. Have you ever felt the happiness that swirls around the dress that you wished for long and finally gets it. The happiness that is there playing with you, on summer days on streets. The happiness that knocks at every door with you, on cold nights in streets. The happiness that ceases the moment, when someone you love comforts you.The happiness that is there as a friend, when you goes out to eat. The happiness that sits in the back, when you are having a journey with family, and singing along the beats of songs, when you are standing there dancing. The happiness that is in these small things, can never be replaced by anything glittery. Because yes, I still feel all these things and so much more. The smell of the gift paper given by you, is my happiness. The aroma of the tea made by mom, is my happiness. The parties that I have with my siblings at night, are my happiness. The gifts of my father, even as small as a pen, are my happiness. The time I wake up all night just for you, is my happiness. The time I stop doing something just for you, is my happiness. The time I listen to your stories even though I know them by heart, are my happiness. The time I see you helping someone without any return, is my happiness.The last bite of that pizza that was a treat by you, is my happiness. The words of comfort said by you, is my happiness. The time they proved to be the purest by standing by my side, is my happiness. The decision of yours picking me when I am right, even the one in front is someone who is close to you, is my happiness.

This You is not one person, but all those who are part of my life.

Stay Safe in these crucial times☮🕊
