Happiness can be gained from the simplest thing
Happiness personified
by Janelle
Today's a day when it's good to be me Life's glass is filled to the brim Pure joy just beaming from my eyes And my mouth's turned up in a grin I seem unable to walk anywhere For my legs insist that I dance All the singing, grinning and prancing Making the cats look at me askance So did I win Tattslotto's first prize And have millions of dollars to splash On the squillions of things you can purchase When you're no longer strapped for cash? Perhaps I finally mastered the art Of making the perfect pav, When two eggs, some sugar and a passionfruit Were all the ingredients I had. But no, it's less than that, yet more That's caused this euphoric state And made me glad that I'm alive So thankful for that fact. For all my chicks came home last night The nest filled once more with them, and the love and noise and laughter of a family together again. I don't need millions of dollars Or to live in a fancy home, Nor do I want expensive jewellery Or lots of fancy clothes, For I am never happier Than when all my kids arrive, and My heart swells near to bursting point With love and joy and pride. I am the luckiest of women and it's so very grateful I am To have such a healthy, loving family And of course, to be Australian! |

My children are aged from 36-21, the youngest two still at home. It's not often enough that we're all together and I am never happier than when we are. My children all have a wonderful sense of humour, and there is much laughter, teasing and shennigans when they're all together. I love that I'm the mother of such witty and clever people.! :)
(I added 'being Australian' because that also makes me supremely happy. :) )
Tattslotto - lottery
pav - short for pavlova, an Aussie desert made from meringue, cream and passionfruit
"strapped for cash" - to have very little money
