The Friday Fling Investigates Happiness!
Friday Fling #225 for March 29th 2013
From the time I was sixteen in 1962 until well into the 1970s, my favorite music group was the Rolling Stones. Even though I was a pretty conservative guy then, they just appealed to me more than the Beatles.
One of the Rolling Stones hit songs in 1972 was “Happy.” That’s our theme this Friday. What is it that you do or are that makes you or the person(s) you love happy? How can you tell and/or how does that make you feel?

Once a month we have a Fling challenge which does not include a recommended format. This is the one for March. Rock on!
This week the Friday Fling shares thoughts and feelings about what makes us and/or those we love happy, and how they and we react to that!
Please save time to read and comment happily on your fellow Pals’ muses. Then go have a happy last weekend in March!

And of course a theme that makes me happy. Congrats to Angel Love! :love: :love: :love:
WOMAN OF MY DREAMS
I see a light shine in her eyes.
I see a smile, a cherished prize,
I feel the glow of open joy.
which warms the heart inside this boy.
She makes me feel like her best man
I make her as happy as I can.
MY GRANDSON
He lays his head upon my chest.
His grandfather must be the best.
Removing his plug, he kisses
the air my way, and never misses.
He sits and snuggles by my side.
He smiles, and my heart’s satisfied.

Happiest when children are around
Know happy too from the smiles, hugs they give
Happy when playing with a dog
Know it is from his tail wagging and love it shares
Inner happiness with waters viewing
Know happy as an inner peace feel
Happy and excited when here with all my friends in heart
Know they are too from all they share from the heart feel
Happy with my daughter and grandchildren as they are me know
Know they are when they tell me they love me, too
MOTHER DAUGHTER LOVE
***
You make me happy
When I see you smile
If you hurt
I always cry
It warms my heart
Just to hear you say
Hey mom
It give me joy
To know
When ever um down
There you are
Just a call away
So just
The same with you
And when your at work
I miss you more
Wonder if you will call
Going to and from your work
Yet I am most happiest when you come by
Even if you only stay for just a little while I love you my daughter as you love me know

What makes me happy is when I get to see my son and granddaughter. They both live so far away and it is always a joy when they visit. Here is a poem I wrote last November I thought I would share here. :love:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
December Homecoming
~~
So far away and all alone
I prayed for my son to come home
Tears flowed as I talked on the phone
Missing him as I found his comb
~~
It has been many years ago
Since I combed my baby boy’s hair
Still on the dresser with his throw
Brought much memories of him there
~~
A homecoming would be so nice
My lasagna and banana pie
I’ll have ready with a big slice
A favorite meal for my guy
~~
So far away and soon to be
A Christmas full of so much joy
Laughter around our Christmas tree
Just like when he was a little boy
~~
Another gift he’ll bring along
Our granddaughter for us to meet
On Christmas morning it’s been so long
Since a child’s smile so happy and sweet
~~
