A Little Layer of Happiness

Home » Love Poems » Poem
A LITTLE LAYER  
OF HAPPINESS  
IT'S SOMETIMES LIKE  
A CAKE WITHIN  
IT ALWAYS BEARS  
A MOLD  
WITHOUT IT LEAVES  
YOU QUIET  
WITH WISHES  
FROM CARES  
YOU HOLD  
A LAYER  
OF FROSTING  
OF LIFE  
A SLICE OF LOVE  
AND CHEER  
A HEART THAT KNOWS  
EACH DAY TO TRUST  
AWAY FROM THE  
KNIVES OF FEAR  
A LITTLE LAYER  
OF HAPPINESS  
IT'S LIKE A MOUTH  
THAT FEEDS  
AND WITH EACH  
OPENING  
A TRUE REPOSE  
IT MEETS US  
IN OUR NEEDS 
A LITTLE LAYER  
OF HAPPINESS  
OF A HEART  
THAT HOLDS  
IT'S OWN  
SO LIKE A CAKE  
THAT WE CAN  
TAKE  
IT NEEDS A HEART  
A HAPPY HOME 
A LITTLE LAYER  
OF HAPPINESS  
LIKE A CAKE  
FROM THE MOLD  I
IT STANDS  
NOT TO BE MISSED  
IT CAN BE KISSED  
WITH HEARTS  
AND HELPING  
HANDs  
SO BE A  
HEALTHY EATER  
OF DREAMS  
OF HOPES  
WITH PLANS  
LET A LITTLE LAYER  
OF HAPPINESS 
BE THE RECIPE  
OF 'HOWS' AND  
'CANS'  
AND SET ASIDE  
THE MYSTERY  
OF MIXES  
THE MAKERS  
CHOOSE  
JUST TAKE  
A BITE OF  
HAPPINESS  
THAT YOU  
NEVER  
COULD  
OR  
SHOULD  
REFUSE
