What Makes Us Happy
November 8, 2008
Happiness
Happiness is when you find out you just got a new family member,
When you get your first kiss,
When you reach your goal you’ve been striving for,
When you meet that special someone,
That special someone holds you close,
You have your big day,
Happiness is when you have your first son or daughter,
But sadness is when your family member dies,
When you get dumped,
When you don’t reach your goal,
When you don’t meet anyone special,
When something happens to your baby,
Sadness is when you pass away.

very deep and depressing, i like it. it makes us all think and i like the way the sad stuff goes faster in the poem showing that life falls quicker than it goes up, very good.
