Happiness is a breath of fresh air

The first one you take every morning

"I'm happy to be here" you might say

Happiness is a full, deep breath

It fills your lungs and expands them with hope

Happiness is a sigh

at the end of a long, hard day

Happiness is in every breath you take

on your way to somewhere new

Happiness is the breath you put into life

Willing yourself to be that way

Happiness is something beautiful

But it's hard to have happiness

when your gasping for air

after drowning tears

But you need it

Your body craves it

So live another day

Try another way

Until you can finally say

"I'm happy to be here today"
