Happiness

Happiness is a feeling I almost forgot about,
The feeling of smiling and not giving a pout
I wish it were here to stay,
But its obvious it comes and goes day by day
I still wouldn’t turn anything in for joy
The hardships are what make you a man instead of a boy
I only hope I can give back some of the joy I’ve had
It’s scary to think of me as a dad
I just hope I can do as good as job as mine
He was everything I needed,
He helped me out of some tight binds
Of course I got a while till that day
Till I get to see my own kid grow and play
Just to teach him all I know
Give him everything he needs to grow
But until that day I will need to prepare
Its not like I can turn back on this, it’s not a dare
