Have you ever been so happy,
That you couldn't hold it all in?
Happiness is like a small puppy;
All wiggly and tail awagging.
Happiness is like a disease;
Sharing it will spread to others.
Telling a friend why you're happy,
Will make them feel happy too.
Joy spreads as well it should,
And brings friends closer together.
It's the same if you share sadness,
And tell a friend your secrets.
Tell a joke to make them laugh,
Or relate a sad story to cry by.
Share your feelings with a friend,
And see how closer you become.
No one can stand alone for long;
For we all need to confide.
Telling of certain events,
Lessens the burdens from us all.
So don't forget you have friends,
And become a lonely being.
Share your life with someone,
No matter what your troubles be.
Share also your joy and happiness,
To friends so special and nice.
You'll see how much they appreciate,
When you tickle them with happiness.
