The Tingling That Makes Me Happy

What makes me happy, I ask myself that every day
Is it the sunshine from the morning light
Is it the laughter of children playing in a park
Is it the warmth of a blanket wrapped around me when I am cold
Maybe it’s the wag of my dogs tail when I am sad
Or maybe the old lady next door who watches me each day and bakes me homemade cookies
The tingling is a feeling when something you really like happens
Like when a younger man tells you he thinks your beautiful
Or when the landlord fixes your hot water heater and says it won’t cost you a dime
It is the little things that make you happy sometimes
And I am happy right now because I am going on a date with that younger man who says I am beautiful and so fine
Now I am feeling tingly inside
