Happiness

Do you know what happiness is?

It is when Lifu lean on my shoulder before falling asleep
while I am patting his crunched back,
rocking side to side
bouncing up and down
playing the music CD
while he halfway shutting those eyes,
sweating through the back of his big head (always sweat before sleep)
and softly he hums tunes to the music that
only lyrics he could comprehend

It is those eyes that is widely lit
with the smirk that slowly widen
as proportional to the distance I am approaching
the sudden plasm of muscles tightened
through his limbs muscles strengthen
where Lifu kicks and waves
the moment I step into the door returning from work

It is the worm like body squirming and twisting
through the mummy's powerful grasp
where he struggles to find the perfect position
that only he knows what to satisfy
and the happy smile he cunningly pose
as he has won the battle of struggle
where mummy has to give in
to suit the most comfortable position he could ever find

I think, I have found happiness once again...
20 years later through the little soul...
