Happiness Without A Reason....Is It Bliss? Poem by RIC BASTASA

i am happy
i can jump out of this window
to land on
the grass of my old
home

i am happy and i am
singing
the song of the village
the song of your
world

i am happy and i am jumping
like a frog on the rain on the
fields of rice and the
hills of cogon grasses

i am happy and i wonder why
i am searching for the main reason
which i could not really find

i am happy because i am happy
is it a decision to make?

look at the small boy pulling his
truck toy on the street away from home
ask him why he is smiling and he will answer
you with a smile and a nod and he continues
his walk towards the park to meet his
friends with their other toys

happiness is, and this is true happiness,
has no reason at all.
