What is happiness??

What is happiness? I asked a toddler,
It is when daddy gets a toy for me.
This is the answer I received,
Although true but not complete.
What is happiness? I asked a teen,
It is when I am free to do as I please.
This is the answer I received,
Although true but not complete.
What is happiness? I asked a man,
It is when I can fulfill all the needs of my family.
This is the answer I received,
Although true but not complete.
What is happiness? I asked an old man,
It is when I am content with my journey.
This is the answer I received,
Although true but not complete.

If the toddler’s answer is what I agree,
Then toys and gifts would make the world happy.
If the teen’s answer is what I agree,
Then happiness would be defined as spree.
If the man’s answer is what I agree,
Then a happy family would make the world happy.
The old man’s answer was rather intriguing,
It was so precise while others’ so materialistic,
And if I comprehend the answer of first three,
They complement the same philosophy.
