Happiness is…

by Jorja Bean-Mundy aged 11

Happiness is seeing your best friend
laugh when you laugh, cry when you cry.
Happiness is that one unexpected bar of chocolate
hiding in your sock drawer.
Happiness is that song you always hear on the radio
and eventually you know the name.
But sometimes happiness isn’t always there.
Sometimes your happiness
gets all used up for a while
and it feels as if a dark cloud
will hover over you forever.
But you can’t give up!
You must keep moving,
take that leap and run.
Run as far as you can from that dark cloud.
You’ll be chasing happiness
and finally, you catch your breath,
and happiness!
