Happy to be You

I awake to the crescent smile of daybreak
Grinning from ear to ear
As the moon does from star to star
For even when darkness flees
The sun’s dimples match my own
Brightening yesterday's dark roads
With traversing golden lines
That cut out pieces of reality
By pasting pages of dreams
Onto a canvas of a perfect day
Where tears of bad attitudes
And reflections of self-denial
Settle and dry into a calming beauty
Of yellow roses and child like laughter
With realization that others would gladly be me
To escape the stares of their born disfigurements
Or cardboard boxes in which they live…

And to those chosen few
Bad days are nothing more than a smear
On the windows of time
To be wiped clean with the gentleness of love
From a God who loves them the most.

Marcel
