I see trees of green…
…red roses, too…
…I see skies of blue and clouds of white…
…the bright, blessed day…
…the dark, sacred night…
…and I think to myself, “What a wonderful world!”
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky…
…are also on the faces of people passing by…
I see friends shaking hands, saying “How do you do?” They’re really saying, “I love you.”
I hear babies cry; I watch them grow…

Your post and photos are visions of happiness. I love this and made me joyful. Thank you.
Oh, you’re very welcome. I’m glad!
Thank you for a wonderful post – that made me cry. Like you, I always cry to this song as well. I hope you understand me right, but this is the song I want for my funeral. I am so grateful I have lived here, on this planet Earth.
Oh, I’m so pleased it touched you. For those of us who practice marveling, it feels like a hymn, perhaps. I think it would be very appropriate for a funeral.
I loved your set of photos and your thoughts put together with the lyrics. A truly happy post!
A very clever and touching responseāwonderful idea! I love that song too
It was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the word Happiness. Thanks for your visit!

Thanks, Sue. I’m glad you liked it!
So beautifully expressed with the lyrics and a set of lovely photos. I love this song, too.
Thanks, Amy. This does seem to be on everyone’s favorite list.
What a creative way to define Happiness. Enjoyed reading your post.
Thanks, Sylvia. I’m glad you came to visit here.
