Yes, poet Wendy Cope has collected one hundred and one poems that center on lots of different aspects of happiness—nature and love, of course, but also the joy a monk gets from observing his cat, the delight a man feels while hearing church music, Mary Lou's fun in wearing red boots.
Here's one I love:
Jenny Kissed Me
Leigh Hunt
Jenny kissed me when we met,
Jumping from the chair she sat in;
Time, you thief, who love to get
Sweets into your list, put that in!
Say I'm weary, say I'm sad,
Say that health and wealth have missed me,
Say I'm growing old, but add,
Jenny kissed me.
