~The Happy Whistler~

The happy whistler walks alone on the beach
among seashells and seaoats he whistles a song
as the ocean breeze carries the tune to seagulls flying high

He curiously peers up at the bright blue sky
and stops to babble in aimless chatter
no rhyme or reason in the matter
no discernment of the things his mind conceive's

With great joy he continues his tune
knowing somehow it's a happy song

A few people slowly walk by
as the happy whistler bends their ear
they pretend not to see or hear
the mystery of the reason too sad for some
yet, he sees no need for tears
happy as a lark, he waves his banner high
as he whistles his favorite unknown tune

gee, to be as happy as he

This so beautiful and whimsical!

yes, we should all remember that when people are humming, whistling or singing [even off key], they have a perfect right to be exhibiting that kind of happiness...

and hopefully, some of it will rub off...

I enjoyed this Deb...

Denise~ Thanks  

Ellie~ thanks I am glad you like it

Marcy~ Hope it brings joy to some who are shy about expressing their feelings

Sunshine~ Thanks, that's really my point.
We need to take note that people who appear to be "different", can exhibit joy from a pure heart, not tainted by a cold hard world.
A lesson we can learn, if we are willing to  see through their eyes.
