I'm happy today
For the first time in days.
I can't tell you
How much it means
To hear a kind word
He said that he liked me--
Because I was nice
And never said--
Anything mean--
To anyone.
And I felt the heavens singing
And golden light streaming--
Over my face
And around my world
And smiling peoples were everywhere.
And for once
Instead of crying--
for sadness
I cried--
For joy
And my face beamed
And all was well
With the world.
Because of a boy's--
kind words.
There were butterflies--
and birds singing too.
There was green grass
And friends and--
cool air wafting over my face.
And rainbows
And puppies
And good days
And music playing--
Everywhere I went.
Cheerful music
Of happy band people
Playing their hearts out
On the music that--
sounded delightful.
No wrong notes
No one yelling--
in anger
No embarassment
No fear.
And I felt--
that I could go on.
That I was strong
That this was why--
I was created.
