Gyles' poem this week was 'Happinness' by Colin Hinton - whoGyles met who took part Gyle's poetry together chatiry

Happiness for me is my aim,

Happiness for all others is my aim.

This is what I will endeavour to attain,

With all the thoughts within my brain.

To all my family,

I wish happiness,

To all my friends,

I wish happiness,

To others I meet today,

I wish happiness,

To the whol world,

I wish happiness.

For this, I endeavour to do my best,

To spread happiness,

From east,

To west.

I will always smile, laugh and jest

So that all that meet me,

Will feel at rest.
