I tried to revive old visions,
But failed despite earnest tries;
So, I was left to wrap myself
In a web of oh-woes and solitude.
But then my children told me to desist,
Shed my dreary ways and not be glum;
Thus when a breakfast break dawned,
Something jumped out to spark my life.
It came to me a wonder to view
A sprightful presence that crossed the floor,
A fresh spirit bathed in vibrant confidence,
A true kaleidoscope of color and life.
And what at last resolved my quandary?
Only she who shines bright and cheery,
providing me just the perfect cure:
Her enchanting glance and radiant smile.
