Let's imagine Happiness -By Jaclyn Chong, 27 January 2009

Let's fall asleep dreaming of
Soaking up the sun
Swimming in the ocean,
Wouldn't that be fun?
But I wake up realizing
My dreams cannot be for today.

Maybe tomorrow's tomorrow will be...
I'll be...

Scubadiving, admiring the
Great Barrier Reef
Feasting on sashimi and
The best premium beef
Let's hop on a helicopter,
Wow at the view
Bungee jump from a height
Breathing in the fresh morning dew

"Aiyoh, Jaclyn!
Why that silly smile?"
OOPS! Oh boy!
You must think
I've gone quite senile

But, no. I'm happy when
My imagination travels...
Parasailing across the skies
Places to where one has been
Skydiving into bathtubs of spaghetti
Let's swim in this yummy scene
Mountains of uncooked cake batter
Makes me happy too
Meandering rivers of Ben and Jerry's
I don't think Mum would approve
However, I must admit that although

Happiness can be imagined
It's isn't solid and warm
Like the unimagined
Happiness can be when
I crack a joke
Or watching CO2 sizzle
From a can of coke
There's happiness in reality
Despite me being sick
I'll settle for the simple pleasures of today.

Maye tomorrow's tomorrow will be...
I'll be...

Watching my favourite
Television drama series
Or be engrossed in fiction:
Romance, suspense and mysteries
Poetry and Shakespeare
Keep me company
Muffins, cookies and cupcakes
Baking aplently!

So the moral of the story
If written can go on and on
But I shall stop my rambling
Before it turns morn
Being sick is more than tough
So imagined happiness
Just isn't enough
The best kind of happiness
Is in the reality
And that's knowing:
There are people who love me
