"Ingredients of happiness"

Big smile, little dimples

Simple joys

Make noise, giggles

Work of art inside your heart

Sentiments far and wide

Bright eyed, surprise

Sprinkled with delight

Excitement at first sight

Fall down laughing

Whichever, big or small

Whomever, boys and girls

Forever happy-go-lucky in your voice

Recipe in the making

Baking happiness within

With this rolling pin

One of the best recipes of life

To give, and to be received

Roll up your sleeves

Complete it with love, for all to see
