La Source de Bonheur

I can’t stop smiling

Playful little smiles tug at the corners of my mouth

Grins from ear to ear threaten to break my face

Secret smiles that only a few see delight my heart

And I do have a secret

My smiles are not painted on

They come from a well that has appeared in me

A bottomless well of happiness

This new spring gushed forth and flooded me

As if it had been blocked

Perhaps it was, for a time

Perhaps, like Mannon, I needed retribution

So I blocked off my happiness

Until such a time that justice was served

And now that it has, and with a little help

I have unlocked la source de mon bonheur

The warm healing waters of happiness

Have swept through me and course in my veins
