Happy

Happy is a funny word...
Seriously think about it... HAPPY
I guess it exists somewhere between Joy and Goofy?

The first two letters make me want to laugh
the last three make me wanna laugh till I gotta... You know
It's just a silly sounding word that's all and all it's rhymes sound silly too

For such a funny word we use it everyday even on the bad ones....
I just want you to be happy, happy to be home, happily married
What does that mean?

Is it fun? Is it bliss? Is it contentment? Is it the same as Joy?
Is happy what Jesus meant by life more abundantly?
Or is it stern like... Life and the pursuit of happiness

I think if happiness were a food... It would be whipped cream
The sweet kind... Not the nasty stuff that's supposed to "calm down the sweetness"
You know, the kind you spray into your mouth like a greedy sticky fingered big kid

I digress...

Is it comfortable like the perfect corner in a sofa? Or awkward like a tickle to the neck?
Maybe it's both and the giggles that we hear are expressions of our inner child
Who know nothing besides happy and not

Is happy a place? Or a status?
And once you get there? How do you stay?
Action or reaction? Is it a chemical imbalance? Are some more prone to it than others?

Happy is such a funny word... We can feel hundreds of sad things and still hold on to it
Whether we loose so much or gain so much we search for it constantly
In others, in our minds, in drugs, our situations, in God

I think some confuse happiness with freedom thinking let me just be and I'll have it
But could happiness only exist when there is freedom? And then the search begins?
Do we choose it with our hearts with our minds with our being or does it choose us when we're ready?

It means so much to so many but sounds so darn silly
and maybe that's the point?
Maybe happy is everything wonderful wrapped in silly paper

I'll take two... sigh*
HAPPY
... What a funny word
